Well, for the that you need to know what your fallback options would be. How many hours do they want as minimum? And also be aware that you will most likely go back to the airlines at the bottom of the queue, as first officer.
In my opinion the best way to become a professional bizjet pilot is to first start with the airlines, lots of flying, lots of situations, then join the biz aviation. This way you will learn the proper way how to
safely operate an aircraft and a crew. People who
started on bizjets can be a bit cowboy-style ("let me show you something").
