An opportunity to relocate to Copenhagen has come up. I have not received an offer yet, but have the first interview. Big change.

Any Danes around that can provide advice? I've lived in Germany for awhile, but only visited Copenhagen.

Tivoli is awesome! I went there during my visit, which was during the Jazz Festival. It seem like a great place, but I've only been there during the summer. It seems like it would be a long friggin' winter....

10 months of winter, 2 months of bad weather. Though this summer is quite nice.

Heh, that isn't even remotely true for the middle of Sweden, where I live, surrounded by people who say things very close to your sentence there :)

Feels like the last 7 summers or so have lasted at least 6 months :/

What's the cost of living like? If I bought a 2 bedroom house, what would be "average" price for a nice home in a decent neighborhood?

The prices are sky rocketing ATM. During the last ten years the prices in Copenhagen has risen 100-200%

A friend of mine just bought a new build 100m^2 row house for 2.3M Dkr (~$340K), and that's a nice but not the most expensive area.

Basically most area's with house's would be concidered nice, but the closer you move towards centrum of Cph, the more expensive it gets.

No. I lived in Kiel for about a year (on and off) when my company shut down a factory there. Kind of hard to make friends with people when you are taking their job away. But I really enjoyed being on the North Sea.

:shocked:

That's about double of the prices where I currently am, but it sounds similar to what's going on in the US near big cities right now.

What about health care? I'm assuming (but don't know) that if I'm an employee of a Danish company, my health care would be covered by the company or the state.

Healthcare and education is 100% free. Some companies does make ensurances for top posts so they can get fast operations in the private sector.
