Life after recruitment: What opportunities are available?
Having spent three years in recruitment and achieving a billing of 500K this year, along with building a small team, I’m now exploring potential career paths beyond this field. I would love to hear any suggestions or personal experiences from those who have made a transition. What roles have you found fulfilling after recruitment?
