Part 135 effect on a resume

Is it true that going to a 135 right out of school is worse than just waiting for a 121 to open.

I currently work for a mainline (I don’t plan to do internal) but I know having the aviation experience does help with getting past the prescreening for regionals.

I currently have the option to pursue a 135 but don’t want to jeopardize my chances with a 121 down the road say 12 months from now
 
If you’re already at a mainline, I can’t imagine you’d have a hard time snagging a 121 regional gig as long as you’re willing to move and can handle the pay cut (depending on what your current pay rate is). That being said, I can think of 3 mainlines that have had a decent mix of internals vs externals in their recent classes, so it might be worth giving that a go as well if your airline is one of them.
 
135 experience can be trickier to transition out of. People do it regularly but not at the same rate as those coming from the 121 side of the fence.

I currently am on the final interview step for a regional but as a backup have an offer to pursue a 135.
