if you can cover youself financially for a while, it can't hurt to go and investigate... but,

don't take the companies word on transferring your Aust CPL. Check with whatever regulatory body there is too.

it can be hard when all you're thinking of is going forward, but consider getting out. It might be easy to get a job at XYZ airline but if you want to leave after a year, your bond may be more than you have earned + some.

Will an endorsement in trtudskndistan be recognised by CASA when you come back?

"contracts" are not what they are in Australia. They're more of a guideline to be changed at the whim of the company. You may find a new contract handed to you at somewhat reduced pay(it probably wasn't great to start with)...want to leave...sure, you still have to pay out the bond. We're not familiar with the term "pro rata".

There are great gogs overseas to be had (I'm in one) but if it sounds too good to be true..........just tread carefully
