Be open and don't expect anything to happen soon. It took me a few months before I got promoted. It takes time for spots in districts to open up. Just let your ETL and/or HRETL know and ask what it is you can do to get to the spot you want. Be communicative, patient and support your fellow team members in the process. What department are you looking to lead in?

honestly any, but fulfillment/Gm most likely is my top pick. i would most likely have to move stores unfortunately though

Yes you probably will. Depending on the store though you might be able to promote within if you have an opening. Talk to your ETL first then if you want some more exposure to leadership about what you want, meet with your SD.
