I'm currently 17 years old and it's still my dream job to work at LEGO. I know it'll be a hard path, but I already have the ideas for a new line of sets ;D
@@TiagoCatarino yeah idk if I would want to move to Denmark cause traveling there would probably bankrupt me but the benefits of literally never feeling like your actually working and getting paid to play with Legos sounds awesome plus if what I read online is correct you get 30 to 50% of of any sets you buy from them but if I can't do any of that I guess I could always just work in a lego store
When you said go on the site and apply for LEGO my mind blew up with excitement because I never knew you had to apply threw the site thanks for making this video, even though it’s not answering all my questions it’s still a big help!
I am 15 right now, and i've wanted to work for LEGO since i was 9, its been a dream ever since and i'm hoping it will stay that way for age. I've been collecting LEGO since, 7 years old(Juniors) and watching this video and seeing you build LEGO has inspired me even more. I love everything about LEGO, and probably gonna learn the language and prepare for when i can start working there
Great video, I'm planning on applying for a job at lego after I finish and get my degree at university and this video helped a lot. If I end up getting the job in a couple years I'll come back to this comment lol.
I would have loved to work at LEGO for the LEGO Friends section, I love designing toys, dolls, mecanisms and gameplay but I can't do anything with LEGO pieces, so... It doesn't look good!
Knowing LEGO bricks and how they work nowadays is not a requirement to get a job. As long as you LOVE LEGO and have a design, toy design, or related degree you have good chances at making it. Good luck!!
I’m glad you do this vdo to give the ppl with some ideas of it’s not all rainbows and unicorn but I like the ideas of cakes and free LEGO even better Free LEGO cakes..❤️👍❤️I’m in the uk so it’s not too bad we are used to very dark Winter but like you said if you loved the sun ppl have to set up those sun lamp in the homes so they don’t suffer from S.A.D..❤️👍❤️
It is definitively not all good! There are highs and lows, but overall I will still say that the good stuff far outclasses the not so nice aspects of working in Denmark for LEGO. I still prefer Danish summer over Portuguese summer though! :P As for cake, that's all a man can ask for. Oh and LEGO... Free LEGO... :)
0:56 I'm Portuguese.. And I don't like sun! Denmark or any Nordic country for that matter would be a dream to live in, I'm more of an owl person :) that and snow and rain and thunder, and I won't die before seeing the Aurora Boreal. You were blessed, hope you enjoyed it a lot in Billund :)
Thanks so much Tiago!! This is just the perfect video for a high school student like me, with the dream to be a LEGO designer, you managed to clarify certain important aspects that I haven't noticed! Thanks again!
Wow this is so amazing to hear about! I’m from Denmark and hearing you speak so fondly of everything here really warms my heart! My absolute biggest dream is to work for becoming a model designer as you were and now that I’m from Denmark I’m already used to the dark and cold weather and I also speak the language haha;) so this video meant a lot to me and game me a lot of hope for fulfilling my dream!
Always brings a smile to my face when I am reminded of how 1980, I had a girls convent school stop for the night next to a B&B I was staying at in Salzberg. After the nuns went to sleep the teens came out smoking filterless Prinz Eugen cigarettes and drinking schnapps straight from the bottle. geeze, you folks know how to live hard- and well. Cheers!
Lol I better get Danish up on duolingo 😅 but seriously this is my dream job I love Lego more than anything but I don’t really have the money to get enough bricks for the kind of projects that gets you the job so I’m worried thats a barrier I was also wondering how would you work in a certain theme of Lego? I absolutely love Star Wars and Lego so I have a tonne of Lego Star Wars! Do I NEED any design degrees if I want to become a designer or can I be given something to complete and if I do it well will it go from there? Did you kind of pick up danish while living there or did you learn it?
My favorite from my Danish mother-in-law is risengrød and risalamande. I'll take that over cake. Well, most cakes, that is-not French cakes.And for all the good marzipan in Denmark, I still like the Spanish kinds better. :-)
Never really got used to marzipan and licorice... My favorite was by far aebleskiver. Only around Christmas time though... And now that I'm thinking of it, I'm sad...
Agree with you about aebleskivers - and we love 'em so much they are a regular weekend breakfast in our family. Though I like even better making them with peaches or berries than apples.
I've always wanted to be a set designer for Lego. I've always thought I would want to get really good at creator 3in1, and then later apply that concept to other lines of sets like star wars, minecraft, marvelz etc. I gotta build up a portfolio of builds to make myself a desireable applicant, but in the meantime, I've applied for remote jobs at lego like customer service.
I wonder what you meant saying how important behavior while stressed in life during the recruitment process is? What is expected and why would it matter in a place as relaxed as Danmark/the Lego company itself?
I’m 27 years old. I recently discovered your channel after deciding that I want to pursue a career with Lego. I appreciate all the insider advice on how to better achieve this. First step is going back to school and working on building all the time.
That whole thing about Paternity for a dad blew my mind, when i was on paterinty leave it was only for 2 weeks from newborn and it was UNPAID :( The UK sucks
Hello from Azerbaijan. How are you? I love your videos. I would to ask some questions from you. Please,help me about this topic. I had recognized lego sets since 2015 . Sometimes,l try to buy lego sets. I love lego very much. And l want to be a lego designer and work with the lego group. How can l be a lego designer? That's for, what must l do? Please help me about this topic.
There's a documentary by ENDEVR titled "the world's dream job: how to become a set designer at lego" on youtube that documents a lot of the process, though some important things are being experienced with lego, as well as getting some sort of degree in a design field, though the second option won't be strictly necessary
Hi! I'm a aspiring 13 year old who wants to be a lego designer one day! But I have some quesions and i hope you can answer them. 1. Do you have to know danish? 2. about how much do lego designers get paid for?
I’m still only 13 so I don’t have any way I could get to live in Denmark on my own yet but when I can I would really love to work for lego, also how’s the food in Denmark?
1: you can apply for lego internationally, so you don't need to move unless you get the job, at which point lego will likely help you 2: if you're not accustomed to it, it's not great, but you can just make your own. We eat a lot if international food on top of specifically danish food
hello, I'm from vietnam. lego just started to build a 1.3 bill usd factory in my country today. they said the factory will finish at 2024. I'm working at a milk factory as a packer operator. Do you think I have any chance or place to work in this new lego factory? thank you for read my comment and sorry for my bad english 😊
Since I was 6, I considerd the idea to become a LEGO employee so i started making MOS's and learning languages (i´m mexican so I have already spanish), I decided to take Italian and now i'm learning german and in english i speak the aussie and british accent. Then i found this video and see that i only need a carrer. Thanks for clearing me out of questions
Hi Tiago i'm in high school right know. and I really want to be a lego model designer or just working at lego. but do you have like tips for me like what for subjects I should choose for school and is it needed to go to college and if yes what kind of subject sould I do in college I know it's a lot but I am just super curios. BTW love you vids and especially you're reviews because you look at everything and help me a lot with maybe buying or not buying the set.
I have always wanted to work at lego, and i am pretty skilled when i get going and have the right pieces, but i always doubt if im good enough and i feel like my techniques are mostly too simple and use too many regular bricks, any tips for this?
As a siberian, I could say you described Denmark exactly how Siberia looks and feels like. So, still not so bad. I had want to learn some Swedish, but I guess it would be cool to learn 2 similar languages at the same time. Anyway, jag älskar vinter 🙃
Tiago, for someone who loves lego but is not sure how to get a job there, what advice would you give? Because it sounds so fun and it's any lego fans dream job( also who doesn't like free lego?)
Wait-wait... How much percent you paid for good free medicine?! Like, I'm from Russia, we paid almost 35% and still can't have good free medicine......
Hey tiago, i will put my message here because I can't manage to do so on your website, somethings is off on it I would like advices concerning being a Lego designer, it's been some time since I've begun to follow you on RU-vid, and your advices videos regarding your ex-job have been priceless to me, who's dream job would be what you did. There would be 2 sectors where I lack knowledge to do so, and that would be in what type of design studies to do, and what type of build should I do, to improve myself, to be able to design more complexe sets. I already can't thank you enough for all that I've learned in that regard thanks to you, and I'll understand if you can't really help me more about it. I don't even know if you will this comment, but thanks if you do
1: just pursue whatever fits you best anything from 3d modeling to carpentry can help, though it's best to get a degree that involves 3d software to some extent. What really matters is that the degree teaches you how to design. Of course, what really matters is how well you can design, and a degree just helps with that 2: build lots of things. Cars, buildings, animals, ships, whatever you can think of. Just make sure to build varied things
@@TiagoCatarino Having watched your movie I dare to doubt because 2 of top 7 reasons of working for TLG are free bricks and discounted shop. I always thought that having a dream job you don't have to care about money and you can buy as many bricks as you want.😉 Does designer's salary depend on commercial success of his sets?
How is to be an expat in Billund? It is already hard to integrate out of the expat bubble in the capital, so I wonder how is the life after working hours.
I think every one who works for lego is very enthusiastic! I was wondering how they deal with pressure and deadlines, do they still enthusiastic? Or what about bad employers or colleagues? I suppose lego pays well the stuff, so the main reason for someone to give up from lego is only for personal reasons. It is really admirable for someone that loves his work
Can I tell you something I have an idea for a new Lego game it’s Lego the flash you could slow down speed higher up speed it has all the episodes but remember one thing one people about spoilers please do this for me how enjoy it
I have actually always wanted to work as a lego designer ever since I was around 4-5 years old and I still really want be a lego designer (BTW this is my dad's account, as I do not have my own).
It's either divorce his wife and leave his stupid kids or Leave the company..... I guess he chose leave the company.. His love for Lego is not deep enough...
I guess this won't get through to you anymore, but what was your exact role in the company? I noticed there are listings for model designers and for product designers. Can you explain the difference please? :)
He was a set designer (or product designer). A model designer is someone who builds the big lego models you see in places like legoland. He worked mostly on the creator 3 in 1 sets, though he also made the ship in a bottle snd gingerbread house sets
@@Chris_winthers Yes, I've figured out the difference in the meantime. I just was a bit confused because he used the terms interchangeably at some point. Still, thanks for the input! :D
