Hey there.
Love the ambition. However I think you might be hard pressed to find a firm willing to move you over (unless you live in a region like the EU). I could be wrong but you generally need a few YOE before anyone will pay for a relocation.
If, however, you are in the EU or something similar, you can always to firms in other countries and see how it goes.
My suggestion is start working in the country are from/finished university in and then try for a transfer.

Is there such a thing as getting promoted TOO quickly? Just got the bump to AS after 10 months as an AE. Not at all typical at my agency (usually 5 to 8 YOE).

I'm probably crazy.
