International Equity Research out of undergrad

Hi everyone, 

Background: I'm from a non-target school, 3.5 cumulative gpa in finance (started off in mechanical engineering, finance gpa is 3.9), international finance internship at F100 Retail company, and now I'm about to intern at BB as IB Credit Analyst for C&R team for this summer. I speak Russian/Italian business level and English fluently. I completed WSP and Train the Street through my school. 

I want to go international to do equity research when I graduate in December. I want to gain exposure to global markets early in career and think I would make a quality candidate out of undergrad. I have no preference to location, London, Dubai, Frankfurt, etc. I know every location offers different exit opportunities, but for the sake of the discussion post we will keep it vague. I have already compiled a list of over 100 global individuals to reach out to in the fall to network. 

I don't know if this is the right way to go, but it makes sense to me at the moment. Does anyone have any advice that could benefit an American trying to do ER internationally? Thank you to anyone that took the time to read this and/or respond to this.
