Just out of my curiosity can't you find anything in Europe with a 320 rating?
What do you think? Obviously not.

Aviation sucks so bad here that the only 'jobs' out there are either for P2F/P4T low cost airlines, or in general low cost carriers that only have one business strategy: make people leave by flogging them 900 hours throughout Europe so they can replace them with cheaper ones after their shelf life (10-15 years) has expired and they are burned out.

Anyone having started pilot training and invested $>100k for training and type ratings within the last 5 years is a complete fool.

This is a reality check for all those fools who leave Europe in order to fly a bigger and shinier jet there, and the big irony is that the more successful the ME3 and THY become, the more European legacy carriers are coming under pressure and the less reasonable jobs there will be to return to.
