Should You Move to Sweden?

I moved to Sweden a little over 5 years ago for work after literally making a spreadsheet comparing potential countries.

Sweden wasn't at the top of the list (not even close), but I landed on it because the tech ecosystem seemed unusually strong and because I could secure my (and my family's) place in society (via citizenship) reasonably quickly and predictably, especially compared to other European countries.

Fast forward to today: my partner no longer qualifies. I have an application in, but the government is pushing forward reforms that will see it rejected, just because they plan to apply new rules on all existing applicants (and because I'm stuck in a 3+ year queue).

Turns out I forgot to account for policy stability in my modeling.

How'd you make your decision to move abroad, and has it worked out the way you thought?
