Good luck sir/ma'am! Welcome to the party, as the saying goes. Get licensed, get applying, and get comfortable wherever you're at, waiting to hear back from any or all carriers applied. But, most importantly, get ready.
The job market is always going to be cutthroat, and it'll keep having oddball replies here and there about how turnover is atrocious. It is. The carrier may not immediately hire you, or the carrier from which you accept the eventual offer may not be the right fit. You may run into familiar faces during interview sessions, and that's all fine and dandy. Chances are, you'll end up at an airport doing double-takes and seeing some name years later who remembered a bad joke or worse diversion story. What I mean, genuinely, is that the aviation community is very small. You may be employed with a monster coorporation now, or even within the industry as a partner or contractor, and I'll say that's a good start. But be very careful with what you say, or how things are said. Forums like these websites are pretty decent with anonymity, but scroll around and you may find similiar names posting similarly, under similar screen names. Airlines lately generally have 2-4 postings a year, most filled from within, and may also pull from hiring pools loaded full of prior candidates from months ago. "TBNT" isn't one-and-done. Regional airlines, as you may see in other threads, may come across as "Time served" locations. Frankly, taking a drink from the firehose after initial certification looks good.
As for the job market, there's other pinned tabs in the DX thread, which may guide you toward an airline list and respective payroll/union dues list/headquarters home base . Even if it's a little dated , it's got some pretty good current stuff in there, regarding where you'd be working. Click around, if you haven't already under some anonymous user without a username. Welcome to 121, in any aspect, and if you're looking for something more 91/135ish, good luck! Hope you can stay comfortable standing at attention outside the jet, waiting for the clientele!
(There's 135s like that. It's a joke.)
Hope this helps with general, vague posting information. Good luck in your quest. Choose your alternates wisely.
