 From my experience reading migration and work sociology, research shows that skilled immigrants often renegotiate their values through professional experience. I have seen studies highlight tensions between prior training, host-country norms, and recognition systems. I would recommend focusing on qualitative research, which captures how migrants reconstruct work identity over time. This literature shows identity as adaptive rather than fixed.
