Honestly,
Get the CFI. Yes you have put in a lot of time and money to get to this point. But your not done yet. Nobody wants to do the CFI. I didn’t, but after I started instructing I found I really liked it. Had I not done so, I would not have started at the Airlines as quickly as I did.
Yes there are a lot of non CFI jobs. But getting on at a reputable place that won’t put your certs at risk could be tough.
My .02, do the CFI thing until you have enough hours to get somewhere you would be okay with spending a few years at.
