To be fair, I don't see in this thread guys saying "I have 500 hours now give me a damn job!" as I've heard in the past...but you guys really have it good compared to us dinosaurs that were in your shoes 20-30 years ago.
Take whatever job you can get to build time and experience, and if you have multiple offers you can be a little picky. Be willing to move...maybe several times...to get to that next level. CFI, banner tow, bush flying, survey, whatever you can get. If you're not willing to move to where the jobs are, your progress in the early part of your career will most likely be extremely slow or non existent.
I'm so willing to move
I lived 26 years in Spain, moved to UK for 3 years, then Germany another 3 years, and I ended up here in the US. My first job was in a solar plant in the middle of nowhere between Las Vegas and Reno, some 2500 people....so I ain't picky at all. I of course plan on being picky after a few thousand hours lol, but right now I'm 100% humble, and I'll move anywhere in a heartbeat. Single, no kids, my family is in Spain....I'm the perfect choice haha.
