Questions only you can answer.

What sort of flying do you want to do?
What sort of flying do you enjoy? Have you researched the pro's and con's of the flying that is around.
Short haul jet multi sectors?
Long haul IT type of flying?
Long/medium haul freight?
Short haul multi sector turboprop night freight?
Regional short haul pax ops?

What do you think would be suited to your temperament, skills, domestic situation?
Where do you want to live?
Will the flying fit into your lifestyle?
How fast do you want to progress into the LHS?
Will the supposed companies take you with only a type rating and no experience? Are you that good that you can convince them? (I only know of one person so far that has got a job with a bare type rating on a jet from a training organisation that wasn't associated with the airline. He had about 500 hours TT. Yes he is that good.)
