        It’ll be hard to comment unless we know in more detail what your experience is. Although in a small market some experience could be highly transferable.

        Are you looking for a larger foreign institution in Bulgaria or another country?

          Do companies care for work done outside big companies? Yes, especially if they’re also small companies, or if they’re serving that market. I don’t think you should expect to rejoin a grad program, but you’re unlikely to be promoted either during the move.

          Try:

          • smaller firms, or 
          • firms that focus on regions that include Bulgaria, or 
          • need Bulgarian speakers
          • applying for international banks in Bulgaria then angle for an internal switch

            I am looking for positions abroad. I have contacts in Bulgaria and have done a good deal of networking. In terms of actual workload, I have done only related stuff – worked on pitchbooks, participated in deals, build models and also done active trading as a portfolio manager. My concern is if the companies care for work done outside big companies? Because I do not really fit in the Graduate programs being out of school for 5 years now 😉
