Question Europe vs. America

As the title says, for flight training and job hunting in Europe afterwards where to go?

Personally, I have never thought there were big differences, both flight training in Europe and flight training in America give the same result: ATPL frozen. I had never ever questioned myself about this topic as I'd never thought that it really matters.

But what do recruiters think about this topic?

I had a discussion with a 23-year old boy that has started a TR course in Ryanair with his twin broter a couple of weeks ago and he sticks to the opinion that recruiters really care which continent candidates learnt to fly and gained their licenses in and that recruiters tend to prefer the candidates that trained in Europe while the ones that trained in America (or somewhere else) are unlikely to be considered for a vacancy the same way.
Maybe this boy is just full of himself, he trained at one of the biggest integrated school in my country and as far as I am concerned his father is a pilot of my county's ex-flag carrier

What are your thought about this topic?
