After getting US Citizenship can a US Citizen work outside the US? Is he going to risk losing his citizenship if he gets a job outside US?

As far as US is concerned for how long US Citizen can stay outside US?

Please reply.
 
As a US Citizen, you can live and work anywhere you like as long as you like. No restrictions or permissions are needed. You could live forever outside the US if you chose, it doesn't affect your citizenship.
 
There used to be law that a natualizaed citizen can be de-natualized if he establish permanent resident in anotehr country within one year of becoming citizen. That law was repealed.

I remember reading somewhere (e.g., http://www.internationaloffice.duke.edu/USCitizenship.html#q7) if a naturalized citizen becomes citizen of another country by oath (after US natuaralization) or joins foreign armed forces, he/she potentially loses US citizenship. Becoming a resident elsewhere should be fine.

In order to loose citizenship, certain factors are considered,namely the type of act and your intent. For example, treason or joining armed forces with a country at war with US would result in automatic loss of US citizenship whereas becoming a citizen of another country by oath does not; your intent to relinquish US citizenship has to be voluntary with the latter.
