Transitioning Agency Recruiters to Internal or HR Services

The user, an agency recruiter with 4+ years experience ($80K base + commission) in life sciences/insurance, seeks a less stressful role with better work-life balance and no pay cut. The most direct and 'better' opportunities involve transitioning to internal Talent Acquisition (TA) within a company, or into Business Development of HR services. Internal TA offers a similar skill set with less sales pressure and often better benefits/stability. These roles leverage existing skills in sourcing, interviewing, and negotiation, while addressing the user's desire for a healthier work environment and avoiding a pay cut.
