Adjusting to life overseas is difficult.\u00a0 Adjusting to life back at home is also difficult.\u00a0 While both rewarding experiences, significant energy and time is invested in both and neither adjustment is for people who crave their comfort zone.<\/p>\n

Jumping for the first time is easy \u2013 ignorance is often bliss.<\/p>\n

But what makes a person jump a second, even a third time when they know just how much they will need to be physically and emotionally invested both overseas and when they eventually decide to return home?<\/p>\n

Recently I spoke with Ben Deguara<\/a> who after living in Sydney for a few years after a four-year London stint, decided to jump again for a life in Hong Kong.\u00a0 For Ben, the second stint as an expat was a decision made with considerable thought and experience under his belt.<\/p>\n

So what are the considerations repatriates like Ben think about when deciding whether to jump again? \u00a0Here is my top list from conversations I have had over the last decade.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Life stage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ageing parents and family commitments are amongst the top five reasons given by expats for making the return \u2018home\u2019. However often these commitments change and former expats can once again find themselves free to consider new offshore opportunities.<\/p>\n

    Conversely, for many who head overseas early in their life \/ career, they reach a juncture and a sense of needing to come home to \u2018settle down\u2019 or \u2018get serious\u2019 about life on home soil. The realisation that this is a natural transition and one that requires intentional planning and a well-established network (regardless of geography) can come as a surprise. For many there is a realisation that they aren\u2019t ready to \u2018settle down\u2019 or if they do, doing it here without the network of support is more challenging than thought.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Originally coming home for the wrong reasons<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u201cI\u2019ll come home because I will see my family more.\u201d<\/em> Often this is the case, but sometimes people return home \u2018thinking\u2019 their life will end up one way, when in reality it doesn\u2019t work like this.<\/p>\n

      For those returning to a different city or state to where their family is based, they can all too easily find themselves beaten by the distance or financial costs involved with traveling within Australia. As a result they don\u2019t see their family as often as they thought or in the way they had imagined.<\/p>\n

      \u201cI\u2019ll come home now so I don\u2019t \u2018miss out\u2019 out on local career opportunities\u201d <\/em>For many expats who have grown their careers overseas in larger markets the reality of just how small the Australian employment landscape is, is completely under-estimated. The size, scale and complexity of business challenge is significantly less and navigating what is often a highly networked market leads many to realise that the opportunities overseas are often just as good if not better.<\/p>\n

      \u201cI was just ready for a change, so I figured I\u2019d head home\u201d <\/em>It\u2019s inevitable that we will all experience moments in our life where we crave something different. However thinking a move will \u2018fix\u2019 or address the need for something different without considering exactly what it is that is being craved is fraught with challenge.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Lifestyle<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        There is no doubt that we are blessed with beaches, sunshine and an extraordinary quality of life here in Australia. Many repatriates however under-estimate the stimulation, sense of adventure and community that an expatriate lifestyle affords them.<\/p>\n

        The richness and diversity of being in a new country and experiencing different cultures \u2013 and sharing it with a community of fellow expats \u2013 can be seriously addictive.<\/p>\n

        Australia is also very expensive. For many the financial reward that comes with overseas opportunities is far more than what is offered here at \u2018home\u2019 and affords many with a greater sense of independence and freedom.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. The opportunity is just \u2018too good\u2019 to not go again \/ the realisation that career is a bigger driver than anticipated<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Given that many returning expats are motivated to return for reasons other than their career, it can come as a surprise just how much their career shapes their identity and sense of purpose. When new career opportunities emerge that offer greater scope, challenge and growth, many multi-boomerangers are motivated to consider a second, third, fourth move abroad \u2013 especially when they are armed with the knowledge and experience of what makes repatriation successful.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Preparing for the eventual return to Australia<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Knowing how you can prepare for life back in Australia while you are overseas can give many people comfort to leave.\u00a0 Multi-boomerangers talk about the importance of maintaining their contacts while they are overseas.\u00a0 Not only do they find ways to come home regularly, they are both strategic and intentional about how they engage with their network when they are visiting. Many multi-boomerangers have also found great benefit in establishing (formal and informal) mentorship relationships to keep abreast of market announcements, trends and events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
