Employability after converting EASA ATPL(H) --> EASA CPL ME IR(A) Frozen ATPL(A)

I am considering to convert to fixed wing. I know what is required for the conversion but I would like some advice on my employability after converting my EASA ATPL(H) to an EASA CPL ME IR(A) with frozen ATPL(A) credit.

After conversion:

Still employed in current position.
Early 30's.
MSc degree.
Right to live/work in the EU.
Senior First Officer.
+/- 100hrs fixed wing.
4800+ hrs multi engine and multi crew on helicopters. Mostly North Sea.
4000 hrs IFR.
800hrs PIC/2500hrs PICUS.
MCC.

Who would invite me without a type rating for an interview? Would having an A320 or B737 rating make a (big) difference? I prefer working anywhere in Europe but willing to go to Asia.

Thank you for your advice
