You read about my stress on my blog as well. This is probably the hardest time to be a recruiter... that's what I do as well. <BR/><BR/>I like you're option #5 btw, but I may be a bit biased :) I wish you all the best.

You are an amazing recruiter and talented individual - just look at all the positive feedback you got from your DM's - it took me almost 5 years to build those kinds of relationships and you did it 2 or less!
