You don't. But if you want to get into a Legacy/Major back home - whether it be the USA, UK, Aust, Germany,France or wherever, then you do. That's life, and so be it. Join the bottom of the queue, and don't try to leapfrog those who have worked their way up over a long time. That's the career you go into, everybody understands it when they start, and so don't complain about it now because you no longer want to live overseas, and wish to return home.
