I think you are getting confused between job titles that sound like specialist and real specialist roles. Specialist roles is not doing generalist stuff that is just more focus in one area, it is a different ball game altogether.
I don't know how much you are drawing as a HR ops person with 3-4 years exp, but I reckon it should be 5-6k at best. A true regional HRBP role in a large MNC usually has a budget of 12-15k for sub-region or 15-20k for full region . No serious MNC would entertain you if you apply for a regional HRBP role, your current salary itself is already a dead give away.
Of course if you are talking about some companies who have a tendancy of anyhow inflate normal HR jobs into HRBP, then by all means go ahead, but don't kid yourself that you are entering specialist space. If I may be frank based on what you share so far, you would be lucky to even get a HR ops role at the snr exec or asst mgr level in a big mnc, going for real specialist roles like regional HRBP is just not workable and gives an impression you have no idea what you are doing and just whacking around randomly.
Focus on roles that you can get in & build on. Work hard and success will come later.
