Hey Rudestuff,
Apologies if that wasn't clear. I'm a US citizen but have been living in Europe for 5 years, soon to receive citizenship. I'm aware the EASA license won't work for FAA, benefit here though is that I don't need 1500hrs and my school has some good agreements with airlines to help support getting that coveted first job.
Your response was very informative though. Helps me to get a better understanding of the "why" behind certain moves or declining moves, etc. Much appreciated!
