You can try contacting your embassy ( http://denmark.usembassy.gov/ ) and see what options you have available. It sounds like you're pretty overqualified to be in Denmark. :) You could also try to hit up the Robocat guys ( http://robocatapps.com/ ) and ask if they know someone in the community who have any open positions. I don't know how well they're doing, but Planely ( http://www.planely.com/ ) offer visas for emp…

you seem to be underqualified to make qualification assumptions of the Danish labour market

Was there a point to your comment? A rebuttal? A... anything? Fed up of people on HN just trying to be the smartest guy in the thread through odd means, disagreeing being one. The guy made a helpful contribution to the thread, don't give him a hard time for doing so, or worse, calling him under qualified

Worse of all its just not nice, you might have inferred from his comment he isn't qualified to x, what do you think people inferred from your comment, about you?

Danish immigration law is more complicated than that!

I remember Danmark had issues with skilled human resource leakage, (partly) because of high taxes. So maybe they enhanced the immigration laws a bit, for easy "importing" skilled workforce.

Trifork (www.trifork.com) are pretty big in the app space in Denmark. Try applying there. Edit: also, tradeshift have their development offices in CPH. Yet another edit: A Danish blogger recently assembled a list of Danish startups. Try looking through that for a match. http://www.version2.dk/blog/opdateret-liste-over-danske-ivae...

Just to add that Tradeshift also has development offices in San Francisco and that they might (well) be on the lookout for an experienced iOS developer in Copenhagen, even though it may not show from http://tradeshift.com/jobs

Yes, the point is the comment. I haven't said that his comment is not helpful, I think otherwise. On the other hand, the remark on the qualifications of the Danish labour market is short sighted: "Hey, lets label the Danish average people for the sake of it". PS: this is not about being "smartest guy in the thread", it's about calling on those who make unsubstantiated remarks; in this case of the people's abilities in Denmark.

On "disagreeing being one" - looking forward to your comments ("Fed up") on each thread of HN. It's human nature to differ on views, and express alternate opinions, and that is of value.
