Big4: quitting after just 4 months? |

I know most people stay in public accounting for at least 1-2 years before moving on to something else. I am going to start working at a big 4 this fall but due to personal reasons I need to move overseas for asap for 2 years.
I heard that transferring domestically to another office is a rather easy process, but transferring overseas is very unlikely especially for a staff.
My long term career goal is to stay in public account as long as I can but moving overseas would create a gap in my public accounting career.
I was wondering if there's such things as "deferred employment" (so that I can just start Fall 2009 instead) or if working for a few months first before moving overseas is a good idea?
I do have an accounting degree from the US and the job I will be doing overseas would probably not be public accounting (operations maybe?)
I would really appreciate any advice from somebody who knows the industry. Is quitting just after 4 months worse than not starting in the fall after I have accepted the offer long ago? Will they never let me come back to public accounting again?
Thank you very much!
