It's true that many corporate/135 operators will type rate their ideal candidate, but it's also true that having the right type rating will make you more marketable to corporate/135 operators. Its been over 5 years since I've been in the corporate world, but I imagine a G550, G650, Falcon 7x, Global Express type rating would be good places to start.
if one is going to peruse a corporate type rating, take a job with a 135 operator that will pay for the type rating.
