sure its unfortunate flying turbo props, why would anyone fly one other than to avoid paying for a Jet Rating. In reality no one employs people with turbo prop experience, other than to put them back on another turbo prop, turbo prop guys basically clog up the skyS
Exactly.
Jobs for newbies on PTLs are just as rare as on jets.
Jobs on piston shakers are, at least in Europe and in the Middle East, non-existent.

Not even mentioning the ridiculously low payment a B200, Dash-7 or LET 410 First Officer could expect to earn, but:
The hours you fly on a turboprop are absolutely worthless when applying for a job on a jet. Nobody's interested in that. The requirement for newjoiners is usually something like "500 hours flown on glass-cockpit with a mtow above 60 tons".
The IFR-hours you might have on a Seneca are not even worth logging!
