BCG fish here’s a fun one: I got denied on the application about a month ago without a referral. I was now offered a referral by a Consultant. If they referred me would I get a special link and be able to re—apply? Or would this be a waste and I should wait for the 6 month cooldown

It would depend on how hard the Consultant pushes the referral as you are technically in the cool down period. Almost the exact same situation happened to me 2+ years ago. Consultant had to personally lobby the recruiter and Office Leader for my target office about why I should be looked at.

They were definitely enthusiastic but I’m apprehensive about mentioning that part and asking them to lobby hard to a recruiter. Is the cooldown period strict?

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.
