I do pretty much the exact same thing as you and I am approximately the same age. Almost EVERY job I looked at in NYC precluded remote workers and non-citizens/non-greencard holders. Jobs in SF seemed to be a little more open to sponsorship. Maybe try looking there? You'll need to look for jobs in Europe, or look specifically for jobs that will sponsor you. Your problem isn't your skill. It's your location.
