Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Come to Finland, we are the happiest country, and we need more people.
Summer is full of mosquitoes and in winter you don't see sun at all.
Language is hard but English is well spoken. This adds complexity to getting citizenship, but you can get permanent residency by working here for five years, unless our xenophobic party doesn't increase that to eight years.
We are quiet people unless we are drunk.
Password in the border is pronouncing Sauna correctly (sau - na, not like soona, unless you are from Savo, where it is pronounced saana).
Edit: Here is a government site that lists jobs that you can apply as foreigners and move here with visa: https://www.workinfinland.com/en/
Y'all don't want us. Hard as f to move there unless you have specialized experience
Our population is at aging point were the large age groups are going to retire. If you can hold a wrench or use a computer, there is a work for you here.
Pay is of course 1/2 or 1/3 what it is in US, but because healthcare and education is totally free, it is pretty much the same.
Easiest way is to find a company that hires you first, because they can apply you for a working visa.
Here is a government site that list available jobs for foreigners: https://www.workinfinland.com/en/
There are open jobs like for chefs, electricians, nurses, coders, Santa's Elf (really, look it up) etc
I understand you think that but I literally was applying for jobs for like 6 months early this year. Not even a single response. I'm a decent data engineer with like 4 years of solid experience and a graduate degree. Could've just been my fault not applying to the right places though for sure. Anyway thanks for that link!
Strange, I would say that experienced data engineer would get hired here very quickly. My team was searching one senior and one junior data engineer 6 months ago, and got 0 applications for senior role. Junior we took directly from school desk.
I know that searching for job is quite painful, but that is quite global. Good luck.
I actually got a great job about a month ago :) but thank you! Maybe a couple of years here then I'll come by with some more of that juicy experience.
The first page of the jobs site linked literally has "restaurant worker". What the hell DOESN'T count as specialized experience to you? Ability to breathe?
Okay apply for it and see if they accept you genius I'm literally saying in practice it's not like oh hey I qualify this job I guess I work in Finland now
Got problem with your link:
Apparently there no jobs available.
You might need to wait for a second it to load, seems that they have coded it bit poorly that it shows that while it loads the results.
It is correct, sow-na might be hard because not sure do people know how to pronounce sow (female pig) correctly :). Other maybe better example is of "sour" without the r, and adding "na" on the end.

Finnish spelling is very consistent with its phonology. "a" and "u" are pronounced kind of similar to as they are in Italian or Spanish or something, except further back in the mouth. So yes
Finland sounds exactly like Minnesota! I'mn
I have met a lot of Finns and they are all pretty great. All a bit mad, but kind and fun.
Plus they don't mind when I make fun of their insane language. 😆
Can confirm, used to take the hydrofoil from Tallinn many times while living in Estonia.
