Corporate jet time?

I'm currently at 1150/50 and have an opportunity to work for a company flying a Citation 501 and Beech Premier in Southern California. I'd eventually like to get into overseas contract flying in Asia. I've talked to American Eagle and Mesaba about potentially working for them. However with the recent number of companies ceasing operations, I'm very concerned about what is happening with the US airline industry. How is corporate jet time viewed with foreign airlines? The advantages with the position offered is that that pay and quality of life would be far better than at the regional airlines. I'd be able to stay here in San Diego plus have my ATPL & jet/glass cockpit/FMS time in about 5 months this way and get a Citation type rating.
