A corporate job is like getting married--be careful. You need to know the personalities, the company what they do and fly and whether it fits your temperament. Remember, you will be spending a fair amount of time with them. My advice is a department with at least 7-10 pilots, makes for some variety. Good companies still offer pay and benefits that far exceed the regionals and even some of the majors. In round numbers on a Global, it's about DL 767 CA pay. If, big IF, you like or can stand international work.

That said, you have a very steep mountain to climb to get a corporate job. Basic licenses, then some gig to get 2000 hours and at least 500-750 hours of PIC time. In bad times, to boot.
