It depends on what you career is and what exactly the offer is - a deferred sentence means at the end the charges are dismissed if you comply with all conditions - and then you could seal the record of it through a separate 'record sealing' action(if it is completely dismissed) so it would not show up on a background check. If it is a straight plea of guilty and probation, then the public record will always be there, and it might affect your future job prospects.
