Question about Multi-Engine Time

I have checked around and most places require you to have 250-500 hrs total with 50 in type to fly solo in a multi-engine. How would that work if you attend atp and dont get offered a job with them. Would a flight school allow you to instruct in a multi-engine with fewer hours. Just curious.
 
It all depends on their insurance. Not sure that a staff MEI would be held to the same standard as a private pilot renter with an ME rating.
 
Most times they want MORE time for an instructor to teach in the plane, than for a private pilot to rent the thing, actually. The places I've seen, range from 200TT on up to 1000TT (with 500 being the most common, I think) before they'll allow an MEI to instruct in a twin, and usually around 100 multi or so. Of course, after ATP you'll have around 140 multi, so that part's not a problem, just the TT.
