All this is my best guess and based on what I believe to be the typical experience of a new hire FO. I'm certain someone will come along within moments to claim that it's possible to make $50k in your first year. YMMV.

They will wonder, was this applicant 'forced' to resign, etc. If you haven't gotten a call from your carrier of choice it's unlikely that its due to a lack of flight experience. If you are fortunate enough to be hired by any LCC/legacy, I'd take the job and keep working toward whatever your goal company is.
