The word of "Overseas"
I am thinking of accepting a job overseas.
I am thinking of accepting an overseas job .
According to the definition of Longman dictionary, the word is used as an adverb and an adjective, but when used as an adjective, it should be before nouns, so I think the second is more correct and natural to me. And in the first , overseas is used as an adverb and if it modifies the verb, "accept" meaning of the sentence is somewhat odd to me.
What do you teachers think? Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

If you are offered a job, you either accept it or you don't. There's nothing wrong with the verb "accept". I would probably say: I am thinking of accepting a job overseas , but I see nothing wrong with the second option, either.
