Abstract
Mobility and work abroad have become the central motifs of modern culture (Nowicka in Global Networks 7:69–86, 2007) and the migrant lifestyle has become an influential aspect of career development and success (Rodda in Ephemera: Theory &Politics in Organization 15:855–865, 2015). Over 258 million people in the world live in a country in which they were not born (United Nations Recommendations on statistics of international migration. New York, 2018). With 3.5% of the world population, and a number of people that has tripled in the last forty years, almost all regions of the world are concerned.
