This document summarizes a discussion at the Winter Gathering 2013 in Stockholm about where professionals choose to live and work. Key factors in the decision include quality of life, quality of work, personal and family connections, and professional opportunities. Staying abroad provides advantages like adventure, world perspectives, and wider career opportunities. Returning home provides advantages like being closer to family and friends and having a sense of cultural belonging and national contribution. Contributing factors in the choice include a country's cultural values, defined professional roles, research infrastructure, legal regulations, and funding availability. In today's globalized world, professionals have more choices but must consider personal goals and priorities.
