Apply to Atlas now. Let them decide. Right now you don't even exist. Update your resume at regular intervals (monthly or twice a month).

Check out what the regionals offer. Some offer quick upgrades if you have X (500??? 750, or 1000 hrs Part 135 time). Go there and you might be able to do 6-12 months as FO and then upgrade. That's a HUGE improvement over another 500 hrs of single (?) engine TPIC time.

Airlines like 500 and especially 1000 hrs TPIC time. But I also had a top guy tell me "we're not getting many of those guys. Or it's PC-12 TPIC time." Hs tone of voice wasn't impressed - seems like they'd prefer jet or at least large turboprop (ATR/Dash 8???) TPIC time.

After 500 hrs, or less, in a given job look into moving up the experience, size, speed, Part 135 vs Part 121, resume improvement ladder. Each step will improve your experience and make you better prepared for the follow on job.

Good luck.
