Time wise, I'm right there with you guys. 800tt, 100 multi with around 100 instrument (80 is sim inst) and 100 g1000.
I have my FIA written done and just need to get off my butt and finish CFII. My school doesn't do a lot of instrument training so it hadn't been worth the investment to get it until now.
If you still need to do your written, I used Sheppard Air to study. I think I spend 3 days studying and just about aced the test. It's worth the $40 or whatever it costs.
I know a guy who got hired with less time than me and no CFII. So i'm sure it definitely helps but luckily its not a deal breaker.
I havent really done a ton of instrument in over a year, so just taking the application exam was a HUGE refresher. It all comes back very quickly though!
