Couple things to watch out for. Its great that you have been offered TPIC position. Be wary of how much you'll fly and relying on the pay.
If it is a gig like Ameriflight where you'll fly xx hours a month great. If it's only on demand, give it time but realize you may have to go elsewhere if you're not getting much time.
Lastly, you may still have to go to a regional at some point after building your TPIC to get 121/glass/jet experience. Do not fall into the trap of not being able to take a pay hit for a bit if you need to.
Best of luck.
