Advice needed on training courses

Hello,

I turn 18 next month and am looking at applying for training to become a pilot.
I was originally set to apply with CTC for the ATPL intergrated course, however I have also been looking at the viability of training in the United States, to gain the FAA Commercial Pilot License, Multi-Engine (CPL ME). With all the different training courses available I was just wondering if this will give me similar opportunities as to training in the UK, whereby I will be able to try and get a job with a UK based airline upon completion, or whether this will limit where I will be able to work. The reason I ask is because if the course is endorsed by the Federal Aviation Administration in America, I wasn't sure whether it would be seen as equivalent to a UK qualification in this country. I have the financial backing to be able to apply to either, but with all the different paths to choose, I'm just getting a little bit overwhelmed! Any help or advice would be gratefully received, thank you in advance!
