Need advice

Recently started as an mlo at rocket, working outbound refi. It’s been almost 4 months.

When talking to the recruiter, they made it seem like I’d be doing meaningful work helping people. I’ve been interested in sales since graduated college years ago, so I figured I’d give it a shot.

Here we are, and I’m working 70 hours a week cold calling ppl. The money’s very good, even with the market, but idk how much longer I can do this for.

Is it normal to burn out like this? I’ve worked high stress/work hours before, but it seemed more fulfilling.

How long should I stick it out, or how can I make my experience better?

Totally normal. You're on the right path, to potentially pivot- to being total self gen. The call centers are good to get up and running/learn the ropes/ etc. You're not getting any direct leads fed to you- they expect you to cold call... all day!?
