What should I expect when trying to exit into a more competitive (geographical) market?

My home office is in a developing country (think non-EU/US, G20), I’m looking at Biz Ops/PM roles in tech in Western Europe. How much should I expect to be able to leverage my consulting/McKinsey background in this context?

Do you have work authorization for the market you are trying to exit to? If not, it's a tough situation unless you are very experienced or coming from an MBA.

If it's not UK/NL, do you know the local language? If not, that could be a deal breaker - very little chance to land anything without local language in other markets in EU unless you want to exit to start-ups.

Have you looked into transfering internally to a major EU office? This is what a lot of people do or they do an MBA.

Another option is to exit to your local tech company's affiliate and then transfer internally, but it's rather complicated.

Maybe this is a me thing, so apologies if it's not relevant, but does anyone ever feel like their family pits women against each other, especially when it comes to comparing someone who fills the more stereotypical female role against someone who may not fit that mold as much?
