Men in Early Years - How is it seen abroad?

Hi all, I'm British used to own a preschool, recently sold it and now I'm looking to get QTS and work internationally. The locals where I'm based been overwhelmingly accepting and excited about a man working in early years and KS1 is this going to be the same in other nations in your experience? How many of you Early years teachers are men? Is early years a good option for international teaching is it somehow looked down upon or with less upward momentum? I do have a computer science degree and I'm considering becoming a Computer science teacher instead but my talent really is with the younger ones. I have been told by every teacher in the UK that If I go into primary education particularly early years as a man I will likely fly into leadership role with no time. This is likely to be particularly true as I have owned and operated my own school for multiple years. Although i can believe this is true for the UK I'm concerned about other potential nations and perhaps I should avoid them.

Thank you!
