Your best long-term bet will be fly your butt off and build as much time as quickly as you can - regional airlines are great for this.

I was hired by a regional flying CRJs with 1100 hours and 23 months later got a Part 91 job with 2400 hours, which was enough time to qualify on insurance as PIC in a Citation II without seeing an increase in premiums.

Many 91 jobs fly 200-400 hours per year; if you were to get hired on at a decent corporate job with, say, 1000 hours it doesn't take a Ph.D in mathematics to figure out you aren't going to be very competitive for other jobs for a number of years.
