So if you have 800 hours and two years 121, you will be paid as a 3rd year captain… as an FO. You will also likely be able to upgrade soon after getting 950 hours, so if the actual PIC time is what you’re after it is a relatively quick and reasonably well paying way to get it, although your QOL will suffer immensely.
