OK … I must confess! I like it here :). I like that people are relaxed and calm. I like the fact that you are left alone if you want that but if you need help everyone jumps to help.

I love Lucas kindergarten. I like the teachers, the parents and the children who have received and integrated Luca so well there. I love that Luke spends 3 hours a day outside regardless of the weather, it goes into the forest for picnics, he is going to gymnastic. I love the fact that he is taught how to socialize and how to share with other children. I like that Luke has adapted so well and so quickly and he is already learning Swedish.

There is no bad weather here, there are just bad clothes!

I love my job and the people I work with. I like that I feel like the most “stupid” developer out there. I learn a ton everyday! I have 10 questions per minute and my colleagues are very excited about this. I love the culture here “fail fast and learn.” I like that we work as a team and is not a competition.

I like the city, the home in which we moved, I could even say that even the weather is not so bad as I thought :D

In other words I’m glad we said yes to the opportunity, we stepped out of our comfort zone thinking: “Let’s try and see how it is … it’s a shame to say no and then to think … what if we accepted that offer at Spotify! “

Dear former colleagues/friends developers/designers, the company is looking for talented people :) (and I know some of you are very talented) even my team is now looking … maybe you want to try … https://www.spotify.com/us/jobs/
