Furthermore - and I forgot to say this before but its important - do NOT under any circumstances quit your current job unless you have a rock solid, signed sealed and delivered better job to go to. Your worst fear in the current situation should not be total time or multi time or whatever but rather CURRENCY. A 1000 hour TT guy who's current, will get the job over a 3000 hour guy who is 6 months uncurrent.
If you quit your job for some half assed promise of a job in some other country and it turns out to be not happening, then you will be completely and utterly royally screwed in the job market we have at present - because you can be sure that if you go and ask for your old job back they will have already given it to one of the other several hundred desperate unemployed pilots they have on file.
Stay current on something - anything - and the hours will keep ticking over and good times will eventually roll around again, trust me
