Whoops

I'm currently an A320/A321 Captain with a UK scheduled/charter airline, aged 40 with 5,500 TT, 5000 Airbus, 1000 PIC Airbus. I'm looking for a change as I'm bored flying to Spain 18 times a month with a company who is continuously pushing it's pilots to the limit. Minimum days off per month (normally Monday and Tuesday - weekends off are rare), maximum flying hours, mornings, evenings and nights on consecutive days, 18-30 rest periods the norm, below industry average pay, pension in jeopardy, long haul unlikely (wrong fleet - change unlikely), staff travel poor, F/O's in transit awaiting BA/Virgin, lots of roster disruption (no scheduling agreement) etc, etc, etc.
I appreciate the grass always looks greener but I would be interested to hear advice on getting a corporate job from anyone who has already made the transition - the lifestyle and pitfalls? I've searched threads on Netjets and the like but would prefer flying for a company or individual.
Additionally does anyone have any info on corporate Airbus positions?
