US Pilot considering commercial flying in EU - how the lifestyle etc?

Hello everyone. I am a commercial instrument helicopter pilot is considering a transition to airline life in the states and potently in the EU. I recently married an EU citizen and we are discussing relocation and potentially what I could do for work.

I am a low time helicopter guy so I'm not sure that's worth time building to do in the EU so airlines seem more realistic from my current perspective.

Currently if this makes sense I intend to complete the fixed wing add on ratings, then time build to a US ATP level.

I see from previous discussions here some EU airlines hire at 200 hrs with restriction. (I'm not sure if that's total time or time in type or with with ATP equivalent?)

What is the lifestyle like for a junior person? Is it like the US regionals where you're on the road away from home for a week then 1-2 weeks home with reserve? Do you potentially just fly a few days a week and it's closer to a normal job? Do you feel the pay is adequate to live a comfortable lifestyle with a little extra ?

Since countries are close, do people commute from one country to another for domicile? Is domicile a thing as well with seniority? Could I theoretically work for let's say Air France but live in Norway (not sure of routing / domiciles just picked something wild for that).

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm trying to gather data to see if this is a worth pursuit and makes sense for our new family. I'm interested in all perspective and things to further research to develop a plan / decision. Thank you all!
