Working in a 'Weak Currency' Country

I have received an offer from a top Financial Services and Asset Management company, but would have to work in a country where the Currency is very weak (1/3 over USD). What would you do? What is your opinion? Would it be smart to accept the offer, work in that office for at least 1 year, see how it goes, and then perhaps propose to be relocated to a bigger office, stronger currency?

PS: I am a master graduate (graduated in Dec 2020) with some work experience in management and investments (part-time and startup) but no previous internships.

Cheers!

The working experience would be the valuable point for sure, the company is huge in America, UK, and worldwide.. but the salary in this office would be very low in conversion to USD (but it is honest in terms of local currency and cost of living there).

So big trade-off: accept the job and sacrifice my salary for work experience (and hopefully being relocated in the shortest time frame possible and aim to a bigger salary in the near future) or look for something else and waste more time on applications etc..
