Any Recruiters/Headhunters here able to give me an idea...

[GTI]

on what life is like? I'm lucky enough to get two job offers and sometimes having an option creates the difficulty of having to choose one.

One of them is a leadership role as a business manager where I will be leading a new department. This will be for a small to medium sized company, however the title and the work involved is challenging and will look good on my CV for the coming years.

The other is as a recruitment consultant. I'm new to the game, but I always find it intriguing. It's for a large size company and they seem to have a good structure in working your way up. I'm however just not so sure what the typical work life is like.

I get phone calls sometimes on Friday nights or weekends from headhunters and it gives me the impression that they work their tails off. I don't mind doing that, but I just need to what extent so that the wifey gets some heads-up. Do most candidates meet after work hours?

I also hear that it could be quite lucrative as you work your way up and solid contacts and knowledge within the industry. Any truth to this? I was told I will start off with roughly 30K per month, base plus commission. Is this in-line with how you guys started off?

I have to make my decision soon, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

I can give you a rough idea - have been in the industry for almost 4 years. Working hours really depend on your firm & workload, i finish work at 6 everyday for eg but others i know do work longer. What is your background, if you dont mind me asking? 30k is not a bad figure as a base salary.
