[Peroni]

Whilst I agree that people don't set out to become recruiters, I disagree that it's due to a lack of options.

My reasoning for making the switch was simple. My best friend was a recruiter with little to no practical IT experience and average sales patter. He showed me a series of payslips covering a 6 month period where he had earned £70k during that period because of his commission. I was young and exclusively money driven so it was a no-brainer.

As for upskilling yourself, it never hurts. I'm adding to my skills at the moment by learning Python and loving it!
