Northern and Southern emisphere..
Somebody told me that before thinking about flight training and FTOs, it is essential to know whether we want to work in the northern or southern emisphere. Should I take this as true ? Thanks in advance.

Someone's pulling your leg .....
However, it is essential that you know which countries you are entitled to work in because getting a licence for a country in which you have no right to live or work is pointless.

Because propellors rotate in a different direction on one hemispere to the other, equator training is very specialized as the propellors don't rotate at all when you are exactly over the equator ... it's all in the coriolis effect.

Training in one hem and working in the other can be quite problematic however in recent years more and more airlines are allowing for their flights to be conducted inverted until the pilot gains more experience.
