Update #3: I'm hired! I start immediately, tomorrow actually. Unfortunately, I have to start again as a team member, but that's okay. My previous Sr. ETL said that I will be promoted to a TL position around the end of back to school, before 4th quarter hits. I trust that person more than anyone I've worked with, so I'm leaving everything up to her. I'm glad I got another chance, and I'm excited to be back. Just a few months of this, and hopefully I'll be up in a leadership position again. I'll try to update everyone if and when it happens.
