Finding it hard to set a goal - career advice

Hello everyone, I'm a second year Business admin student in Amsterdam and I'm interested in pursuing a career in finance. There is no doubt that there are plenty of opportunities but I feel like I'm in a special situation, I speak Arabic and English fluently, along with professional proficiency in French and limited proficiency in Dutch. Since the majority of European countries require native proficiency in their local languages, I feel like I have to graduate and search for jobs elsewhere.

The US and Australia are hard since they always require citizenship, and London is harder to break into after brexit. I feel like the UAE is a good place but some people say Finance is dead there. What do you think I should do? Where should I focus my efforts?

TL;Dr: studying in Amsterdam but don't know the language, what are the options for someone who can't work in their own country?
