Nobody will offer you a Direct Entry Capt position as you have ZERO flight time in the USA. There are also half a million pilots in the USA with 5000 hrs and a 73 type rating.
Under part 121 you’ll need a 1000 hrs as SIC as stated above. Doesn’t matter what airplane type, it’s the regulations that you fly under.
Part 135 it’s usually insurance requirements that determine upgrade. Total time, total jet time, PIC time and time on type.
Insurance companies will generally ignore time flown outside of the US as it can be hard to verify.

US 121/135 operators can’t force a foreign operator to hand over pilot records.
