Diesel8 gave solid advice. If you get hired at Southern, Atlas, Kalitta, etc for international ops you will be trained to act as PIC in cruise flight while the captain is in the bunk. If you don’t see yourself being able to step into that position and be able to obtain an Oceanic Clearance for the North Atlantic, determine if the ETOPS weather that Dispatch just sent is truly legal, figure out how to make HF position reports if the CPDLC/ADS is not working, or get an HF phone patch to Dispatch if ACARS/SATCOM is inop stay where you are to gain more experience and confidence. International Ops is the Adult leaugue. You will learn a ton but a ton is expected of you.
