IBD in the GCC (Saudi Arabia, UAE)

I am interested to hear some of your takes on that.I feel like this question is only relevant because this industry tends to devalue everything outside of the US. It feels like IB is the US is perceived as the major leagues and everything outside of the us is a sort of downgrade.What do you guys think ? Could you still find a good exit in the US with experience outside ?
