I’m going to be honest and say I’m not sure what you mean by intermediary but that’s likely on me. While I don’t have experience in UK market I would love more context on this.

Gotcha! Okay I’ve always referred to them as agency search consultants. Thanks for the clarity!

Would love some advice. Currently have 60k in student loans with 0% interest due to covid, but 7.6% when forbearance ends. Given the current market do you think it’s more beneficial to pay my loans off slowly and invest some of my additional income, or work towards paying off the loans as quickly as possible?

So I'm at an agency and 80%+ of my time is new business. Pitch, win, set-up/semi-service until we get hires, move on to next pitch etc. (w/ fair share of losses too, of course). But I'm burned out. And while I'm valued, I don't see a return on my investments: personal time, my heart (I'm all in) and professional development. I get rewarded with small spot bonuses sometimes, but not a commission. So do I try to pivot to a real bus dev position? I feel confident I could. Anyone seen this done?
