Why not also wait till you have 2000 hours and a type rating as well?
Captains make the bigger bucks in part to the fact that they are also mentors and instructors of their FOs.
I am sure that it is much nicer to have fully trained and highly experienced FO's so they can fall asleep in the seat however times as they are assure that captains will have to work a little harder.
My advise is to go for it if there is a job being offered no matter how much time you have. Low timers might have to face a few frowns and short tempers from their captains but in short time they will be up to speed.
It is much better for the low timer than wasting time as a CFI to go strait to a regional if it is being offered, and a pain for the captain. In the end you will only be cheating yourself if you choose the long road.
