I've been recruited. Me, the recruiter, headhunted! I consider it answered prayer. I can even accept the position without violating my non-compete. I haven't told you the best news yet: I wouldn't have to be on a recruiting desk anymore. Heaven knows I'm a little burnt out on that.
I've been offered an operations manager position for a staffing firm in a different industry. Which is basically what I do now, but with more management responsibility and less recruiting aggravation. I get a budget, I get choose my own staff, I will have time to actually implement my ideas instead of getting pulled away to do all that pesky recruiting crap. Oh, and it'll pay about 20% more to start and go up significantly from that by the end of the first year. The official offer letter is coming tomorrow.
Now the hard part. I really want this new job, but I can't stand the idea of giving notice to my current boss. While I am completely taken advantage of in my current position, I have a few perks that make up for it: flex time, generous bonuses, a boss I can tell to go f*ck himself without fear of being fired, and great co-workers. If I could have the new position at my current place of employment I doubt I'd leave. Unfortunately, we're about a year away from it being possible and I'm pretty sure I won't make it another year in that blasted recruiting chair without sacrificing my sanity or inflicting physical harm on an unsuspecting candidate.
What would you do?

That's a tough, but good, predicament to find yourself in. When I am faced with these kind of situations, I ask everyone I know what I should do...then I freak out, then I make a list, listing the pros and cons of each job...i.e. flex time, more money, great co-workers, unknown co-workers. By then, I am so sick of the dilemma that I can usually make a decision. Good luck:~)
