The other person responding to you is a bit harsh, but I’d point out instead that it’s quite hard for an American company to hire someone who is not a US citizen. I had a coworker myself who was a great programmer and member of the team, we all liked him but once his visa from studying here in the US after college ended, he had to return to his home country as my company didn’t have any way to keep him on legally. Just having a few degrees and minimal work experience probably isn’t going to be enough to break into the US market in many cases, you likely would need to be known as an outstanding expert or have some special skill to help justify issuing a Visa for you (e.g. the O-1 Visa). I’d suggest focusing on distinguishing your career within the context of the EU and if you still have the US as a long term goal look carefully at how best to get there. (Some others who have accomplished that probably have better advice, of course! As a natural born citizen I’ve never had to worry about this personally, but I assume I might face similar challenges if I wanted to move to the EU to work.)
