Hi all!

We're very excited to move to Denmark soon as lifelong Americans. I have a good job lined up, and we're set on a place to live for a while.

Any advice from people who have done it, looked it up, had friends who have done it, etc? Just in general :)

If you work for an American company you may end up with an American style corporate hierarchy, but Danish companies are a lot more egalitarian on average. Not just office wise, but also "only addressing the boss by their first name" wise.

That's been a thing in the USA for decades.

It's a bit hard to articulate the difference I've noticed with Americans when talking about work. It's not like America is stuck in the 60s with executive toilets and executive lunches, but office culture definitely seems different.

What probably makes a difference is the difference in management styles.
