Shalom, Before I really became a Baal Teshuva, I had applied for an internship program. This program matches you with a company and helps set up an interview with the company. The whole process coincided with the largest growth of my baal teshuva process. As a result of my past wickedness, I had lied pretty heavily on both my resume and application to the internship program. I had said I wanted to do a medical & computer science internship on my application video, when in my heart, I wanted to do finance (I would have switched when I got it) as well as making up a fake job and referral I got from my neighbor. After getting into the program, I've dome immense teshuva when I realized how wicked I had acted. At the time it didnt occur to me to quit. However, as part of my teshuva, I chose to interview for a medical company (the position was as a business consultant) and had overhauled my resume (however I forgot to change my application to the organization which the medical business saw) I sent in a truthful resume to the company I now work for and was truthful from that point on. My question is, do I have to quit my job? Is the money I made unkosher? Is there any possible way for me to keep my job? (coming clean to the internship coordinator?) I'm not sure if it's relevant but I'm doing extremely well at the job (in terms of work and my supervisor's approval, not pay) Kol Tov-
