208’s full of FedEx and TKS. I think most routes are short, you wouldn’t build much time, but you’ll be flying during the normal awake hours. It’s single engine land time. Don’t be dazzled by the PT6. If the lifestyle fits you, that is what I’d focus on. However, you're adding Single engine fixed gear time to your logbook. That’s not very competitive. I personally think the 208 will be forced out of the feeder market because of volume increases and lack of pilots. If you meet the mins for Corporate, you also meet the mins to fly twin turboprop at a lot of feeders. Corporate Air always has jobs posted, makes me think they don’t pay enough.
What are your long term goals?
