Question In need of advice

Hello everyone,

My name is Newton and I am in need of some advice from people in the field in the US. I am a Brazilian-US national current residing in Brazil due to family health reasons.

Here in Brazil I've got my CPL, MNTE, MULTI ENGINE, Instructor's ratings and I've got experience flying the C90 as well. I'm also expecting my first son in september. With all that said I am thinking of moving back to the US within an year or two, but I still have low hours to get into an airline job in the US, obviously I'll get all my licenses validated to their equivalents in the US.

How's the market for pilots with low hours in the US currently? What are the options for folks with low hours besides being a flight instructor? I've been thinking into getting a job in an airline here to build my hours before making the move back to the US, but the economy and jobs here are going down and I don't see an improvement in the upcoming years.

What would you guys do in my place?

Thank you in advance.
