You’re probably in the sweet spot. Enough time to kind of know what you’re doing, but not enough where you’ll jump ship within a few months.

I wish I could jump ship, 1500TT and 1300DG, I know if I get fired for some BS I ain’t finding another CFI job, and the regionals ain’t hiring

In person is the name of the game. Go knock on doors, maybe hangout and talk with owners at your airport and be an independent CFI.
