While you were learning to fly there were literally thousands of guys stuck at regionals with thousands of hours of pic time. Don't go somewhere for a quick upgrade right now. Go somewhere that you can enjoy life a little. No pay, no qol, no time off... You're in your 20's and your wasting it chasing a career that is a known heartbreaker. There is more to life then airplanes.
Some majors avoid pilots with more than 6000tt... There is more to hiring a pilot than total time...
Having that 1000TPIC will get you interviews faster than having that 5000 TSIC. Statistically, sooner interviews = sooner you'll land a job.
