Ez a cikk a Magyarországra tanulmányi céllal áttelepült kínai expatrióták karrierpályáit tárja fel, és értékeli a külföldi karrierlehetőségeiket. A kétlépcsős migrációs út vizsgálatával három lehetséges pályaválasztás egymáshoz viszonyított előnyeit és hátrányait tárja fel, nevezetesen, hogy visszatér Kínába, Magyarországon marad, vagy másik európai országba költözik. Ez a kutatás konstruktivista grounded theory megközelítést alkalmaz, félig strukturált interjúkkal 22 kínai expatriótával. További kvalitatív adatok, például megfigyelés, nyilvánosan elérhető tanúvallomások szöveges elemzése és kutatási napló egészítik ki a tanulmányt. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy minden potenciális választásnak egyaránt van előnye és hátránya, és a választás bizonytalan. Az empirikus anyag arra utal, hogy a nők ezen a téren még nagyobb kihívásokkal néznek szembe, mivel jelentős nyomás nehezedik rájuk, hogy családot alapítsanak, lehetőleg Kínában. Ebből kifolyólag gyakran elvetik a nemzetközi karrierterveiket. A kutatás azt is megmutatta, hogy a kínai pályakezdő expatrióták milyen nehézségekbe ütköznek a társadalmi, kulturális és karriertőke új környezetbe való áthelyezése miatt.
