Will you have the legal right to work in the USA?
No shortage of pilots here but it is getting hard for regionals to find good new hires with a few thousand hours of turbine experience.

It's unfortunate that you have a disdainful view of flight instructing. Unless you plan to fly single pilot your entire career you'll find that instructing really helps build skills in communication and working with another crewmember.

I've seen many jump pilots and banner towers either struggle or simply fail training at Part 135 and 121 carriers. If you want to fly for the airlines your instrument skills are paramount. Most guys with a VFR background need a lot of sim prep just to pass our interviews. I can't remember flying with a single FO in the past couple of years that didn't have instructor, 135, or 121 experience.
