As "by not me but I know who to ask" says, I indeed made the switch a few years back. I think you have to consider a few points that are often overlooked:1) The job is repetitive2) If you don't do deals you are out - be prepared to work under alot of pressure3) It is not easy to get work from clients, nor is it easy to get candidates to apply for jobs. You do have to work very hard to do a deal.4) Pay is excellent if you are a good biller, some people here are earning £100k+, 2 years out from university.5) The work is not mentally challenging once you get over the novelty factorMy advise - The best recruiters (from a commercial perspective) are generally people who are extremly money motivated, do not mind spending 10 hours a day on the phone, and who are competitive. Another consideration is the company you are joining. An established recruiter will already have account managers "owning" the best clients in your area. You may find out that you are left with a bunch of cr£p clients
