FAA to EASA conversion, anyone familiar with the process and market?

Got my FAA CPL (with multi add-on +IR), did the ATP-CTP, planned to convert it to EASA in order to explore more opportunities.

I have done a bit of research and reached out to a few flight schools, would like to gather more insights here.
  • Is it true that where you get the license matters and will affect your opportunities? (I kind of want to choose e.g. Greece instead of Ireland since it is a lot cheaper with better weather but somehow I read comments about Ireland having better recognition in EU)
  • Is there an affordable and reliable ATO you recommend that I can do the distance learning on the theory part? (I plan to work in my home country now and fly there only when I take the exams so I could save some money for the flying portion)
  • Any good flight schools recommended for the overall conversion?
  • I can speak English but not any other local languages there, does it matter a lot?
  • Aviators in Europe, how is the prospect and job opportunities there so far?
  • Where in Europe provides the best job opportunities?
To the questions on your mind, (if I guess them correct)
  • I don't have a green card or whatsoever to work in the states, but I have an EU passport
  • I went for FAA at the first place for some reasons
  • I have never lived in Europe so I am not familiar with anything there
  • I know I will have to complete those tough 13 subjects and I am committed
Open to all kinds of comments and advice, positive or negative, much appreciated.
