Dear ______ actually, just because someone works at international organization doesn't mean he is a big shot. There are, as you said, a lot of those kids out there. But when they stand out, that is when we notice them. People stand out by publishing at the best peer reviewed journal, for sure. Those who are not coming out advertising themselves are doing appropriate thing. All jobs are just that--jobs, unless you transcend the territory of your job, and make influence, or unless you ace the profession. Only stupids go out saying "I work for this organization, I earn in six digits and oh, I am so good looking". A lot of international organization jobs are actually pretty boring, useless, and people prefer faculty positions to them. (except some research wings of some international organizations) A lot of Nepali have made big bucks, are working on international organizations, own hotel, businesses, restaurants, are millionaires, and it is good if they shut up (unless they are uber rich like Dr Mahato who counts presidents as his friend) rather than going out, thumping their chest like guerilla, advertising about how many cars they own or what boat they own. When they do something good, people will find out. haina ra? For example, see I found out by Anita Tuladhar (although it doesn't seem she has actually published alot, however) without her or her family telling me about her.
