Opportunities for a RJ pilot.

Wondering what the next step would be. Currently flying a CRJ for an American regional.
Have around 7500tt 2500 as captain. Would like to move up to a larger airplane and will move.
Have CDN/euro passports and green card. Hold both cdn and FAA ratings. Most recruiting companies want me to move oversees to fly a RJ for what I'm making here. Should I stick it out for a couple more years and hope that the US market turns around?

There might be opportunities in Canada, but realistically, there are few operators that take direct entry captains.

I don't think my job is going anywhere but I have to work my butt off to make $7000/month.
80-100 legs a month. Don't care so much for direct entry captain as much as liking my job.
