Moving from Dubai back to the US

Hi Everyone,

Just to give you a bit of background on my situation, I recently joined a growth equity fund in Dubai with AUM of 250 million, the fund focuses on healthcare, food and beverage and real estate, we also have been dabbling in early stage investing. I have a masters in finance from a target school in the states and was part of a rotational program in a custody bank prior to moving to Dubai. I'm curious as to how my experience in Dubai will be looked at from firms in the US. If I decide to move back in a couple of years will I be able to land a job at a boutique pe firm?
