Having around 3500TT and 2000 JET, (250 JET PIC) would that warrent an upgrade within a 'decent' timeframe?

I've been looking into apply though the cadet scheme, but sometimes feel that already being at a current airline (abroad) I shouldn't have to pay so much through the nose to get a type, if that's what I should have done anyway a few years ago (instead of working my fingers to the bone like I have been). The only thing that would make it potentially worthwhile would be if I knew an upgrade would be pretty quick after joining.

The only two schemes they seem to have is the cadet and the direct entry captain scheme. I don't fall into the direct entry so I must fall into the cadet scheme. Though I do feel a little more experienced than the average cadet.

Note: I do not have 737 time.
