Ben highly recommends Sweden to anyone looking for a new place to call home.Tune in every week for 2 new episodes with people from around the world!

Sweden is also home to some of the world's leading game development universities, such as the Royal Institute of Technology and Uppsala University. This helps to attract top talent from around the world. And with the country's strong focus on innovation and creativity, it's no surprise that Swedish game developers are at the forefront of the industry.

There are many different types of jobs in the video game industry, from Designers and Programmers to Artists and Animators. And while many jobs in the video game industry require Graphic design experience or a related field, there are plenty of opportunities for those without formal training. Freelance work, for instance, is a great way to get your foot in the door. Companies are always on the lookout for talented writers, artists, and programmers to create content for their games. And with the rise of digital distribution, there are more opportunities than ever to work remotely from home.

Working in the video game industry is a great way to see the world. Because game companies are located all over the globe, you have the opportunity to travel to different places and work on exciting projects.

 If you're looking for a creative and dynamic environment where you can really make a mark in the gaming industry, Sweden is definitely the place to be. Ben started his career in the United States, has lived in China, and now lives in Sweden. It's been a great experience for Ben to learn about different cultures and see different parts of the world.
