I was actually a little shocked when he said not to go to the training department, but it made sense I need hours more than anything else. Overall good experience and reinforces the need to get the hours asap.
Sounds like you will have about 3400 or so when you upgrade.. plus another year to get at least 6-700 to put you roughly at 4100TT. Yes just keep flying, and of course take upgrade as soon as possible. As for the training department, I would only pursue LCA, as you will keep flying a lot (at least as an OE instructor). I bet you could get hired prior to that point though.
