Starting career out internationally upon graduation?

Hi guys,

Current undergrad graduating next year. Wanted to hear your thoughts on moving outside of North America upon graduation for a few years then coming back to the US. Would it be possible/has anyone done it and how was your experience? Also, any countries you’d recommend? Ideally I don’t want the work overseas to be discounted when coming back home to the US.

Appreciate it!
