Finding a job outside the US

Career

I’m in my final year of school (hooray). I’m getting my bachelors in accounting from a school in the US and plan to work towards becoming a CPA. I’m not 100% sure where I want to go into the accounting world but I’m being met with some options/challenges. My partner is in the military and there’s a possibility of being stationed overseas next year (3 months after I graduate). My plan was to always look for a job almost immediately after graduating but now I’m concerned if we move to another country my chances of finding a job will go away. He says it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to move to another country (and not have to pay for the move) which I totally agree with. Part of me always thinks fuck it, throw caution to the wind. I have no kids and not many responsibilities to worry about. But at the same time I’ve worked so hard for my degree. I don’t want to hurt my chances of getting a job in the future by taking a few years away from the industry. Maybe I’m overthinking things. I’ve also wondered about getting a job in accounting in whatever country we end up but I don’t really know how that works.
