Listen,
I really have to say, with your skill why would you look to Sweden?

I know your other half most probably has visions of Sweden that may seem disproportionate at present.
But given this is the start of your child's new life, is it really worth all the problems that Sweden has to offer you in comparison with living elsewhere with your family ?

As lets be honest, you moved to sweden in the hopes of improving the quality of life for you and your family.
But if you cant even get a wage to at least keep you in the similar lifestyle you had previous to moving, is it really an improvement?

My advice is get out now while you can.
Otherwise you wont be taking a step to a higher quality of life, more so a step down and to the side by re-evaluating your priorities.
