Umm, international work experience may be a good thing, but it isn't always, particularly if you are going to be competing back in your home country for senior positions that don't require international experience, or exposure to Asia in particular. Make sure to consider exactly where spending 2-3 years in Asia will leave you in your career if you plan on going home. For example, a couple auditor friends of mine who were in HK for a few years (big 4 employed) spent almost a year (and this was before the market went bad) looking for similar positions in NY because they had spent too long in Asia and weren't as competitive for many positions. I'm not saying international work experience is bad, but it may not always be beneficial for all career paths, depending on certian institutional hiring needs.
