Studying or doing research abroad is exciting and can be a significant experience for oneself, but how about career benefits in your home Country? Wherver I went and asked colleagues and people, most of them would agree that staying abroad will be beneficial for your career. If you study for obtaining a degree, you will have at least that one. If you go somewhere because of research funding or scholarships, you benefit directly right away while you are there. But how about afterwards? Did it really boost your career in your home country? Was / is it always worthwhile going abroad?
