I committed to a consultant in early June for R1 apps. From what I’ve heard, May/June is typical timing to secure someone for R1. However if I’d later decided to apply R2 instead, I could have still worked with my consultant for the same price. They’re just dedicated to you for the app season

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
