Changing Status From J-1 With a 2-Year Home Residency Requirement

[@fggafv2038]

I have a question regarding the j1 visa. I am from Pakistan I have done master's from USA on funding from Fullbright USA. i have signed a bond to return to my home country after my master's completion. now I am in Pakistan for the last 6 months. I got a job offer from a country in Europe. can I go to Europe without spending 2 years in Pakistan? is j1 vis 2-year requirement only for usa visas or other countries' visas also?

I will be getting J1 research scholar visa with 24 Moth Bar Rule. Is it easy to convert into an F1 visa if I enroll my self in a PHD. I think my J1 don't have any option of visa weavers. However, 24 months Requirement is for getting another J1 visa, I think I can convert it into another category.
