Stevenvl didn't state his current level of experience ( or if he did I missed it). In any event, a person coming here might want a couple of years experience in US airports/airspace and perhaps a new aircraft type before assuming a captain spot. 1000 hours (~ 2 years) SIC under US FAA Part 121 won't hurt a bit and might even be a plus. Just a thought...
