There is no ideal. Don’t use corporate buzz phrases like “seat at the table”. Like the others said, get your ratings and time ASAP, have a good attitude, and catch the retirement wave. I would add that you should develop a sense of humor. Pilots tend to be sarcastic and it will make for long 4 day trips if you take things too seriously. Best of luck to you.
