Depends on your skill set, language and visa.

I only speak English at the moment, and I'm getting my degree in Accounting.

You might be able to get a job teaching English in South Korea.

Lots of people do it so it cannot be that hard.

I've seen the teaching positions openings in S. Korea, but I'm not really the teaching type. Is that the only option overseas or across the northern border?

2 friends worked for a public company and requested a transfer to Hong Kong. After a couple of years, they left one joined a bank and the other a multinational company. There are still somewhere in that region.

A 3rd graduated from Yale and worked for a NY law firm that sent him also to HK. After some years, he left to join a bank as an investment banker in Shanghai.
