Just installed it on ubuntu using sublime text 3 (installed from sublime-text_build-3047_amd64.deb). I get into vim mode when creating new files; however, when opening existing .py files on disk I don't get the vim editor.

Salaries aren't as awesome as in San Francisco. As an entry level dev you'll make around 450000-500000NOK (~80k USD). With a Master's or more experience, working in the private sector you get ~100k USD. Cost of living is significantly higher than in the states, but you get healthcare for free, and if you don't eat out every night or buy flashy cars you'll be fine financially.
