It really depends where you want to get hired too. Over here airlines recruit atpl courses before they even get the license and MCC done because they cant find enough newhires, of course you still have to pass the usual assessment center stuff before they let you join, however type ratings are being payed for, you just have to expect slightly lower payscales for the first year (and only a 12 month bond, more isn't legally possible).
Myself i wouldn't ever pay for a typerating, but that is of course my personal choice, still got my first job 7 months after i got my license and in fact could choose between several jobs back then, with only around 250 hours (well, and another 1k on gliders, started flying them at 14).
