Want to move out of the USA
Hello everyone, I am new to the forum, so I am sorry if this has been answered previously or is well known within the community. I recently graduated college with my CPL and am curious as to whether or not job offers are easy to come by outside of the USA. My eventual goal is to leave this country and fly in another country. Thanks in advance.
You haven't offered enough info about your circumstances to get a solid answer.
Are you a US citizen ? If not, what is your citizenship ?
Where outside the USA do you have the legal ability to live and work ? This will govern practically everything affecting your choices.

Jobs are very easy to get in the US. They're very hard to get elsewhere, especially the first job. Stay in the US, get a job, build some hours then start looking outside.

Jobs are not easy to come by outside the US unless you're a TRE with extensive experience on Boeing or Airbus products.
So.. as bafanguy and rudestuff have suggested, get a job locally, get some reasonable experience and then consider the move. Typically, Asia and the Middle East will hire US citizens with FAA ATPs (ATPLs). It won't be your first job though. If you have access to another citizenship, that can expand your options but you'll still need some experience and possibly need to do the exams again.
