From someone in the 91/135 industry over here (not in a flying capacity), I would look at any role with a fine tooth comb. They work the guys and gals here to the bone usually ... very long days, lots of quick turns, ungrateful clients, overnights in junky hotels etc. Also remember for the most part, you are the pilot, cabin crew (helping passengers use microwave or oven, pouring them drinks sometimes at their request, sorting out their catering), ground crew (loading bags), cleaning crew in between turns etc etc. It is certainly not as glamorous as some may think just because you are flying a private jet. The bigger the aircraft, the more stable the schedule, the longer the legs and the higher chance you'll have an FA on board to handle a lot of the menial tasks but still can be very hard work.

Just a warning.
