If you can secure employment with the company doing the instructor rating then that would be the way to go.
Not many companies will be looking to hire someone onto a twin flying IFR for the first job.
Other than that its anybody's guess what is the way to go.
Perhaps do neither, go out to a station find some work flying a 182/206, save the cash, get 1000hrs and return to the big smoke to do your MECIR.
