Awesome news ((((((((((((((((( BFG )))))))))))))))))))))))) Wishing you much success at your new position. I'm sure you will do great!
I so understand the issues with the other company you applied to and were turned down so many times. The business world is cruel at times. But, I also believe that things happen for a reason. You were not meant to have that position for some reason or another....maybe because of the one you were just hired for
Best of luck to you!
