I converted my licience a few years ago. Reality is that if you had done the same at that time there may have been some advantage.
Friends of mine that lost their jobs a year ago in uk/europe with medium jet experience are in the middle east or africa, the only jobs available. You state you are an experienced pilot with a regional. What aircraft have you flown/how many hours on commercial aircraft? If you have 3500hrs total and 800hrs PIC on 737 with the right to work in europe then Ryanair would be interested as a direct entry captain, otherwise your wasting your time and money. You need to look at the middle east/africa, the job market is tight in Euro land like the US.
IF, you could find a job in europe you would earn more money than in the USA. HOWEVER, Euro land is very socialist and its all about taxing those working to pay for those poor people that cant be bothered to find a job and their healthcare. Your standard of living would be much lower, think long and hard my friend.
