The data treatment and analyses methodology was content analysis. The main results obtained indicate the motivations to go and stay abroad are related to personal and professional development, to looking for a better quality of life and work and to personal reasons. Most of interviewed answered that the process of adaptation was difficult in the beginning. They listed positive and negative points about the brazilian work conditions. Five interviewed said the conditions influenced the decision to live abroad. Although the other five affirm the work conditions in Brazil don’t have relation with this decision, some declarations were controversial, because they said that weren’t satisfied with brazilian work conditions or he was seeking to improve the professional future goals. That way, it is concluded that this relation is more linked to the present conditions of the external environment that surround them and that belong to brazilian context than to a work condition inherent to private enterprise. Therefore, the research also contributed to point the aspects need be changed by measures arising from the private sector and the public sector to reduce this wide emigration flow, such as the improvement in the security and public transport, the increase of employability, the grater equal pay and consequently purchasing power and a better quality of life.
