I am at an fork in the road.  I have been very successful at a larger recruiting firm for 11 years.  However, we have just been purchased.  Without explaining all the detail, lets just say that the way I recruit will be changing drastically.  So drastically that it feels that it is going to completely change my compensation near term and long term.

Now, I could stick around and work hard to regain some of the things I feel I have lost in other areas.  Or, I could go somewhere that allows me to keep doing it how I do it (and deal with a non-compete).  Or, I could use that hard work to build up and make something for myself?

Either way, hard work is inevitable and rebuild is inevitable.  The question is, where do I focus my energy.  I know this is a very brief explanation, but I would love some thoughts.  Also, has anyone recently done a business plan for recruiting?  Do you have thoughts?
