Om hon får jobbet, får hon inte bara mer lön utan också en bättre möjlighet att jobba hemifrån.

Om introduces a conditional clause (an if-clause). In Swedish, an Om-clause sets up a condition, and the main clause then gives the result:

• Om hon får jobbet, = If she gets the job,
• får hon... = she will get / she gets... (the consequence)

It’s common (and often recommended) to put a comma after an initial subordinate clause like an Om-clause, especially when it’s fairly long. It helps readability:

• Om hon får jobbet, får hon...

You may sometimes see it without a comma in informal writing, but the comma is very normal here.

Får can mean several things depending on context:

• får jobbet = gets the job (receives/obtains)
• får mer lön = gets more pay (receives) It can also mean is allowed to, but that meaning doesn’t fit well here.

In a conditional sentence like this, present tense in Swedish often corresponds to English will in the result clause:

• Om..., får hon... ≈ If..., she will get...

It’s repeated because får is the main verb in both the condition and the result:

• får jobbet (get the job)
• får ... mer lön (get more pay)

You could rephrase to avoid repetition, but the original is natural Swedish. For example:

• Om hon får jobbet, får hon inte bara mer lön utan också... (very idiomatic) Alternative styles exist, but the repetition isn’t considered awkward.

Swedish is a V2 language: in main clauses, the finite verb usually comes in the second position. Because the sentence begins with the Om-clause, the main clause starts after it, and Swedish requires inversion:

• Om hon får jobbet, får hon... Not ... hon får... in this context.

Inte usually comes after the finite verb in a main clause:

• får (finite verb) + hon (subject) + inte

So: får hon inte... is normal placement.

Here, inte is part of the fixed pairing inte bara ... utan också ... meaning not only ... but also ....

It’s a very common Swedish pairing:

• inte bara X utan också Y = not only X but also Y

Tips:

• X and Y should be grammatically parallel (both noun phrases, both clauses, etc.), as much as possible.
• också is often used with utan (as here), but sometimes it can be omitted in certain styles.

In this sentence:

• X = mer lön
• Y = en bättre möjlighet att jobba hemifrån

• mer is used for uncountable quantities or “more of an amount”: mer lön (more pay).
• fler is used for countable plural nouns: fler dagar (more days).
• mera exists but is less common/more formal or stylistic than mer in everyday Swedish.

Because möjlighet is an en-word (common gender), so the indefinite article is en:

• en möjlighet

And the comparative adjective must match that:

• en bättre möjlighet (common gender form) If it were an ett-word, you’d see ett bättre ....

att is the infinitive marker, similar to English to:

• att jobba = to work

The phrase möjlighet att + infinitiv is a common pattern:

• en möjlighet att jobba hemifrån = an opportunity/possibility to work from home

They both mean to work, but:

• jobba is more common in everyday speech (neutral, conversational)
• arbeta can sound a bit more formal or “official”

In this sentence, jobba fits the natural, everyday tone.

hemifrån is an adverb meaning from home (often implying remote work):

• jobba hemifrån = work from home

It’s written as one word because it’s a fixed adverbial form (historically from hem + ifrån). You’ll commonly see similar forms like:

• utifrån (from outside)
• inifrån (from the inside)
