Hello,
Could you tell me please what is an average salary for a junior engineer (in oil&gas or aerospace ind.) in Finland or Sweden or Norway?
Just to have an idea.

Thanks.

We do not pay 'junior engineers' here in the Nordic area... you get your first pay check when you are promoted to gopher.
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.

Well, let's see.....based on Finlands thriving oil and gas industry uh.....Well then Finlands aerospace.......WTF? I do believe Mölkky-Fan is correct!

Socialism has never managed to create anything beyond corpses, poverty and oppression.

good luck!
you wont earn much for the first 6 months as your qualificatins dont mean diddly squat in scandinava!
if you can weld there should be no problem to find a job.
even now in these hard times ,but its not easy to impress as you have to be able to understand what they are telling you to do as well as doing a good job.
