Now people in many countries can live and work anywhere they choose with improved communication technology and transport. Advantages outweigh disadvantages?

good
1. right to choose
2. incentives
3. getaway or castaway?
4. use the time efficiently (no commute)
Bad
1. low-income country (quality, danger, safety)
2. away from the family (long distance, drift away, faded, estranged)

Along with economic globalization, job searching also expands from domestic position to oversees vacancy or from a capital headquaters to another major branch. Variety of reasons can prompts a person want to find a job abroad, though sometimes it's just from the corporation's reassignment as the oversee branches needed.

People argues that being dispatched to another country causes family indisposition, estranged children, and aloof couple relationship. Besides, under the world spectrum where international business set up the branch in foreign states for lower wages expenses, most opportunities abroad is opened in low-income countries, some of which might not be the safe places to live. Crime rate and living condition could be onerous there, causing a lot of capable elites having doubts about working abroad, even nicknamed it as castaway with getaway. Technology helps to realize the long-distance conferences, but sometimes communication errors or misunderstanding is nor rare, casting people doubts about whether to live in a place and work in another.

However, working in the totally different places is definitely a huge perks on the resume. Carried with influenced cultural mime, especially foreign one,  it better our lot on the job searching in the global market. The family problem could be easily solved by high-end internet communication nowadays; talking your wife or husbands thousands miles away is never a question. Many countries also have special education facilities for children of the foreign workers, making it possible to move a whole family abroad or to another city. The employing company mostly give extra fringe benefit for those deployed. It should be a luring chunk of award for those striving for careers for years. Being reassigned abroad also prove one as highly competent agent who is probably multilingual and socially fluent enough to deal with  more volatile markets in foreign country. Job opening oversees available to choose often increase the worker's initiatives at home office, since fighting for a promotion becomes a shared momentum among colleagues.

All in all, under this highly cooperated economy whose business involves not only one sate or one company. It is important to make ourselves adaptive, highly mobile, and rapidly fit in. Otherwise, we'll all be ousted in this strong inundation of mainstream business model.
