Here’s my feedback: less is more. I like when you take the audience out on a walk in natural surroundings. It’s like having a conversation with friends. A+
YES PLEASE. Just do whatever is easier for you, we are here for the info. (Although I understand it can also matter for attracting new viewers and followers, but I don't think RUclips recommendations depend on whether it's a video from a street or from a studio).
Just so you know, I'm not telling you to cancel your plans for Finland with this video. My goal is to share important information that will prepare you for potential challenges that you may face. Overall, Finland is still an awesome place to live and build life despite the issues.
I can confirm that it is difficult to get a job in Finland. Even from low-wage and labor shortage sectors. I myself have applied for jobs in shops, stores and supermarkets because it has been claimed that there is sometimes a shortage of salespeople and customer service staff. But for the past 9 years I have been unemployed most of the time after I graduated with a Vocational Qualification in Business from vocational school. And it had to be a growing industry that always has jobs and vacancies because "Finland is transitioning from an industrial society to a modern service society and digitalization reduces the need for office work like the automation in industry." Most often, the answer to job applications is that I was one of hundreds of applicants and unfortunately, I was not their choice as an employee to hire. And this is the situation for me, who has lived in Finland since I was born, so I can only imagine how difficult the job market is for someone who has moved to Finland from elsewhere and has to compete from the same jobs.
First time fan. And I’m impressed. Finland is on my list of place I’m considering relocating to l, but the language is the only drawback. Thanks for making this video Aleks.
Thank you for this video. A realistic outlook on living in Finland. Ive been researching countries and ever since some recent U.S political developments, ive tentatively set my sights on Finland. Thank you for these videos, this is exactly what i need to prepare and educate myself
This video was quite comprehensive yet easy to follow and understand. Thank you so much for always giving such great info. You have helped so many who have come here. Thanks so much Aleksi. High quality Finnish tertiary education and ease of access to social and government services are my favorite things about Finland😊.
I really like this style of video Aleksi... it's informal & relaxed and the sound of trains & trucks don't bother me at all. The information you're giving is very valuable. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the videos!, I am looking into moving to Finland with my new wife ( we live outside the EU) and your videos really helped us with organizing everything before we move. Please keep these amazing vids going!
Thanks! By the way, I'm currently piloting a VIP relocation service to help people like you to move here hassle-free. I help with finding apartments, pick you up from the airport, guide you through the necessary registrations, etc. Let me know you're interested and you can email me aleksi@aleksihimself.com
I was in Finland last September (2023) and had to renew my Finnish passport, it only took 5 days - the system is very efficient. In Australia I had to wait weeks for my new Australian passport. I would agree that the government services work well. I enjoyed my time in Helsinki so coming back again this summer. Safety in Finland is way better than Australia - crime is totally out of control - youth detention centres are at 170% capacity, they are talking about building another two. Also DV is really bad, at least one woman dies very week, so at least 50 by December. I am seriously thinking about coming back to Finland to live, just because of the crime in Australia.
😭 i am insecure to both of you! Finland, especially Australian, you complain about that simple thing😭! Well, in the Philippines 🇵🇭 You can have totally nothing pure danger and an incompetent rate of Salar . Everything has a value-added tax, sin tax, above minimum tax, and echetera tax, and we have the worst provincial hospital and public hospitals. It is one of the most corrupt countries out there. Please, i am begging you that you are more than blessed than us from a Third World poor country! Please be Joyful and proud of your Nation.
Moikka Aleksi, good to see you back and putting content out again. I realise from your recent videos things have been rather tough in many regards lately. During your last live stream you mentioned possiblyl organising a meet-up. Do you have an idea of when you might do this. If there's enough notice I would definitely consider taking the time off to come over for this...see a part of Finland for myself and meet you in person - after all these years of following your channel I think it's about time I finally visited Finland. Please do let me know your thoughts about a meet up. 👍
Moi, I am English and my bf is Finnish so it does happen 😂 we met gaming online and still together 7years later. I always say when I met the Finnish people I met my people, friendship, family and making you feel welcome seem to important, it took a long time and me thinking many Finnish people didn’t like me, which wasn’t the case but now I have Finnish friends and my favourite thing about them, is that they are straight to the point, English people gossip and talk about others behind their back, fins are blunt and will just ignore you if they don’t like you. Also I love that time is precious and they respect that in every way. I’m glad I found my fellow introverts❤
I went to Porvoo to visit my boyfriend for a week. The traffic lights are very unpredictable. I try to cross the street, but the stop hand only flashes for one second, even on a long crosswalk, before it switches the traffic direction. It was hard for me to trust crosswalks after that. For the language barrier, I had to ask my boyfriend to order at a cafe for me. For the jobs, I am struggling where I am myself, and have been trying to diversify my skill set with available courses. They are college courses, so expensive here in Canada. I thought of taking courses in Finland, but I don't know what it is I would really want, if it is in a spot my boyfriend and I would like for the time, if I even could get residency or citizenship. I thought possibly just across the border in Russia, Estonia, Sweden, or Norway could be economically better for me, else I trod away at the one job I have now and hope I can make the money to survive for long enough to find a new job in Finland. I appreciate the result-based work and casual atmosphere among coworkers. I am too used to it. Canada makes it indecipherable to do taxes, and it is always different.
found out recently i qualify for finnish citizenship through my dad who's a citizen still, the idea of finally getting to live there feels so much closer! great video!
Hi Aleksi! I’ve been following for a while but I don’t comment often. Can you tell me what you think about these things? 1) Outside of equality laws, how friendly is society to LGBTQIA+ issues / people? 2) Would you describe Finland as a fat inclusive place? How do the people respond to seeing people (and especially foreigners) out in public existing in bigger bodies?
Thank you for the video! The only problem is that the sound is hard to hear because the voice volume and a background noise volume are almost equal. It would be nice if you could make something with this in the next videos
I'm currently doing a masters in Germany. I'm learning German and I will be taking the Finnish course here before going to Turku in January for my Erasmus. If things go well I would like to try for a second semester. If I really like it. I want to do PhD in the humanities. While I am from the USA. I'm hoping to get dual citizenship in Poland by the end of the year. I have a German last name. I hope I have an overall net positive marketable list of things by the end.
Aleksi, I have a request for you, could you make a video why Finnish sounds similar to Japanese or is Finnish related to Japanese, because Finnish and Japanese share some similarities, they maybe different languages, but have some similarities, I mean, Finnish and Japanese are different from European language, though I'm not sure if they would be related, just because they different from other European languages, usually they remain as different languages, but some people say that Finnish and Japanese sound similar, so could you make a video about that 🇫🇮 and 🇯🇵?
There is not only one research about the struggles of a foreigner to find a job in Finland. There are plenty of them (and some are also coming from EU researches).
Hi @Aleksi, Thanks for details explanation on life in Finland. I just wanted know how is the IT Job market currently? Do we have opportunities for foreigners?
Hey Aleksi. I have a question about running your own business in Finland - do you have to pay taxes, health insurance and social security if you happen to have no income in a month? Or is it dependent on the earnings and if you have a bad month you don't pay anything? I'm asking because this is the only thing that's stopping me from setting up my own company in my country - the fact that even though you don't earn anything (which may happen, especially in the beginning), you still have to pay to the state and you end up in debt even before you get a chance to get your business going.
The way it works is that you estimate your annual profits and then pay the tax in small amounts throughout the year. You can always adjust them, too. You should plan your finances accordingly so that one bad month won't bankrupt you.
Bro I met a dude last time who said he sees him at the local grocery store all the time. From time to time in Helsinki, you can often spot a celebrity or two. I met Lamb of God on my first visit and also Ville's dad! And also, fucking everyone seems to have known Alexi Laiho when he was alive - even my friend from LDMV who said he used to see him around where he lived all the time. I swear, 1 in every 20 Finns I met knew that guy 😂
Hey Aleksi. I just wanted to ask if you have any experience with people with Danish language skills learning Finnish? I´m driving to Finland in 48 hours to live in Helsinki, I have a Master of science degree in architecture, but I really struggle to find a non-finnish speaking job. I am thinking about learning Finnish, but I will only be staying for 5 years and then I am off to Australia. I think 1 year would be my limit, but I am not sure if it is possible to learn it enough to get a manager job in that timeframe? What is your take on this?
Aleksi - I used to watch your videos maybe 2 years ago. I randomly viewed a short that has you in it (for no reason???). You need to watch this hahaha. He says you are a German guy.
IDK why I'm preparing to a hypothetic future where I get to live in Finland, like it's going to ever happen lol all the jobs that would give you citizenship are not related with my area
I would disagree about the work life balance. It can be S tier as you said, but more often than not people do work overtime. I believe it has to do a lot with what you said that companies are result driven and you can feel that. Companies are reducing numbers, making the work pile up and you of course have to pick up the slack. Most people that I know that work an office job, especially in IT, they do work overtime a lot. What's worse, 99% of the time they do not get compensated for their overtime, they might at best have a spreadsheet where they can record their overtime and take extra time off later, which is better than nothing but not ideal. Many people don't even keep track of all the overtime because it makes their bosses look bad, so it is all hidden.
I’m a chef by trade, like high end, fine dining chef. Everytime I look on the work in Finland website it seems they are always needing chefs. I’m looking to immigrate in 2025 and become a citizen. I hope there is still some jobs left 😂
I can´t find any cons about the work-life balance as well! The important thing is TO HAVE A JOB which is very difficult for a foreigner and now it is also for Finns! The taxation system is truly fair and liberal but forget about becoming rich. Contrary to the video, I see that with the new government there is no such a thing as social benefits for unemployed people anymore. You will be lucky if you receive any kind of benefits...People that had been here and worked for some time are STILL elligible for money from their unions but the new government announced that their are plans to cut that money too. So there will be nothing as a safety net very soon (it has already started with most social benefits). So please take these facts under account before moving to Finland.
To be honest despite of these facts Finland 🇫🇮🇫🇮 is still way better than living in the Philippines 3 things about Finland that I love: nature, cleanliness and well structured society 😊❤ which my home country is poor, hot and humid tropical ones.
I'm American, and these warning didn't deter me. I like that people just exist without the small talk, and the weather. The job market sounds like the biggest hurdle
Bullying is insane in Finland! We had a rough incident at one Vantaa school in April. Also getting a job in Finland is impossible, even more so if you are a foreigner since you will be discriminated based on your name in the job application. This country is going to hell in a handbasket real fast, the right-wing government (that cuts spending from schools which means it's even harder to get a job) is a perfect example of that. Finland has no future.
does people with epilepsy work? it's not a stupid questions, here where I live, if you don't have help from family you can just die, no help from health care, epilepsy is not invalidity but no one will hire you for job.
It is such a weird thing to come up with "Finland has some domestic violence". I mean, Finland has it - no doubt about it. It is more like... compared to what? You just said there's domestic violence, that could be said of about any sovereign state there is... Such an empty nonsense really...
More hostile environment for business -> less jobs. It is likely that recent political strikes have cancelled foreign investments and will do so in the future.
I see your point. The strikes were just temporary I believe. It should not have a long-term impact. Plus, the new government is planning tax incentives for foreign investments so I think things are going to the right direction.
Finland looks like a fantastic country to live in until you realize right next door is Russia, who could invade again like in 1939, Then comes the Winter, no sunshine, more dreary than Britain. Spring and early summer is a cold and constant drizzle and still no sunshine. Spain or southern Italy is starting to look a whole lot better.
@@AleksiHimself And when, good sir, has Russia done anything that ever made any sense? If there is something senseless and screwed up to be done, Russia will be the one to do it.
If Russia did invalid Finland, being in Spain or Italy would not help you since they are both in NATO and would be drawn into the war anyways. I watched some interesting videos about how well Finland is prepared for a war with Russia, even excluding the rest of NATO it is unlikely that Finland would have any issues defending itself.

Yep!
I would disagree about the work life balance.
It can be S tier as you said, but more often than not people do work overtime.
I believe it has to do a lot with what you said that companies are result driven and you can feel that. Companies are reducing numbers, making the work pile up and you of course have to pick up the slack.
Most people that I know that work an office job, especially in IT, they do work overtime a lot.
What's worse, 99% of the time they do not get compensated for their overtime, they might at best have a spreadsheet where they can record their overtime and take extra time off later, which is better than nothing but not ideal.
Many people don't even keep track of all the overtime because it makes their bosses look bad, so it is all hidden.
Sounds really screwed up and too cold

It's a pity you weren't a teenager in 1980s. You could visit Leningrad in Soviet Union and the russian girls will ɓe all over you😊
i want to move out of finland ffs🤣 no offence
No worries. I know that Finland is not for everyone.
Finland looks like a fantastic country to live in until you realize right next door is Russia, who could invade again like in 1939, Then comes the Winter, no sunshine, more dreary than Britain. Spring and early summer is a cold and constant drizzle and still no sunshine. Spain or southern Italy is starting to look a whole lot better.
It would make no sense for Russia to come here, Plus, Nato helps.
@@AleksiHimself And when, good sir, has Russia done anything that ever made any sense? If there is something senseless and screwed up to be done, Russia will be the one to do it.
If Russia did invalid Finland, being in Spain or Italy would not help you since they are both in NATO and would be drawn into the war anyways. I watched some interesting videos about how well Finland is prepared for a war with Russia, even excluding the rest of NATO it is unlikely that Finland would have any issues defending itself.
