Does My MFPE experience carry weight? (Warburg/BX) as associate in Mumbaii, India

2Y as associate in BX/WP after my BCG stint. Planing for bschool in H/W. Heard it's tough for Post MIBA to break in w/o prior PE experience but I have a geographical disadvantage. Not even targeting MF but UMM/MM. Had learnt even post Bschool ->IB associate ->PE is tough.

Does prior experience albeit in different geography carries weight? Global funds are very active in India investing across sectors.

It carries more weight than AT LEAST Tobin & Co.
