Wow - that sounds negative. Sorry - It can be rewarding or challenging. Sort of like raising kids. When you see one of the people you took a chance on develop, succeed and spread their wings, especially when it's with your company it can be a great and wonderful thing.

Conversly, when someone does something stupid, then hides it from you so you won't get mad (and pisses off one of your larger clients) that can be pretty frustrating too.

I will tell you that transitioning from "Peer" to "manager" can be one of the more difficult things you can do, then it will help if you have turnover.

One last thing - believe 1/2 of what a headhunter tells you - If I had a $1 for every sales job a headhunter tried to sell me on - I'd probably have a million dollars by now.
