ALMA CAREER'S INTERNATIONAL SURVEY: EVERY THIRD EMPLOYEE WOULD CONSIDER RELOCATING FOR A BETTER JOB
More willing to relocate are employees with higher income and higher educational level (29 %), and they are mainly only willing to relocate for a job within their own profession (55%). Relocating with families (60%) and the potential for better salary (60%) are the main motivators for working abroad.
"One of our presumptions was that people in the lower income groups with less education would have been the most significant groups interested in relocating after a better job opportunity. The survey reveals that rather the opposite is true, the higher the education and the better the salary, the more likely are the top employees interested in relocating within their own profession," comments Alma Career Business Director,

"It seems that for Finnish employees who are considering international migration, career-focus is emphasized. Eastern European top talents are not ready to move for work at any cost, but only for a relatively short period of time, some weeks or months, and it is important for them to be able to take family with them," continues Kirsi.
The survey results included the following information as well:
- Those with primary and secondary education are the most willing (53%) to consider a lower-ranking position abroad than they currently have if they relocated. Correspondingly, those with postgraduate education, master's (55%) or doctoral (57%), are the least willing to change their current positions into a lower-ranking one abroad.
