Default Lookin for advice as well!

While I’m not in the exact same situation I am in a predicament. From what I’ve seen getting 121 time is most important? I’m currently at 500 hours.

Currently have 2 job offers for 2 different part 135. One company flies caravans and the other flies various twin turboprops.

First company pay is 12/hr but after upgrade (roughly 5-6months) 45/hr then you flow through to a regional once you reach 600PIC as captain(another 5-6months). With set bonuses for upgrade / flow. Flying passengers.

Second company 2 year commitment as SIC on a twin turboprop. You can upgrade to captain on a smaller plane in roughly a year. Flying freight. Pay is good

The freight job seems like really good experience and the pay is better. But if the end goal is a major would I need to go from the freight job to a regional then major or can you potentially go from the freight gig to a major since I’ll be logging multi-turbine pic eventually?
