Well, one part of the work-life balance is also access to interesting work and opportunities, and a mature market that makes it easy to switch between companies when you want to or need to.

In that way, I think it makes sense to focus on some of the largest job markets, as they explain under "Methodology":

> After reviewing hundreds of global metropolises, a shortlist of 50 of in-demand cities with sufficient, reliable, and relevant datasets were selected. This included cities known for attracting professionals and families for their work opportunities and diverse lifestyle offerings.

That quote sure reads like the list is filtered to make it possible to complete the survey, as well as to make it diverse and interesting. There are plenty of cities not in this list that are by no means short of demand.

Trondheim, being the home of Norway's largest technical university actually has a pretty good number of tech companies and startups.

This remote work thing throws a new angle on these kinds of surveys.
