Default Commercial Pilot Job Hunt

Currently have 415 hours TT. A good portion of time in the Cirrus SR20 and SR22. As well as 40 hours of multi. My question is what are my options at my current hours for a aviation job outside of CFI? Thanks in advance!

There are a lot of options. If you don't mind me asking. Where are you located? Are you willing to move?

Likely too late for surveying for this season.
Banner towing season is over too.
Ferrying jobs not really out there w/o airline privileges.

Build time until you hit 135 VFR mins, that helps a lot.
Or CFI. You can always CFI.

Aperture Aviation, an aerial survey company, hires at 500TT flying Cessna 206s.
Good benefits, week on, week off schedule. Two pilot crew. Decent pay.

Home based. Year round ops all over the US
(Yes I fly for them, just started in July, it have been very happy with the job)

For a mid40’s married man with a 7-yr-old, the QOL for a first time flying gig has been pretty good.
