PE in the Nordics?

Hi all, I recently did my last round of interviews with a mid-cap PE firm in the Nordics for their Oslo office. The team was quite pleased with my performance and would like to extend me an offer for an off-cycle internship.

I am international and have never lived in the Nordics, so I am not sure about what to expect in terms of salary and how much I would need to live comfortably in Norway. I am definitely not looking to get rich, but I want to make sure the salary is livable. What would be a fair salary for a PE off-cycle in Oslo?  Thank you in advance!
