Opinion: America is the best place on earth to be a pilot.
This is a no-brainer. If you are in the US, have the right to live and work in the US and you already have the licence to fly US registered aircraft - stay there until you have at least 2000 jet hours then go to Europe if you really want to.
Getting a first jet job in the US is super easy.
Getting a first jet job in Europe is super hard.
Once you have 3000-5000 hours on jets then things start to even out and the rest of the world, middle east, far east etc opens up.
Don't be fooled into thinking that just because you can get a new job with 200 hours in Europe they are easy to get, they aren't. I would rather have a PPL and a green card than an EASA CPL.
