Reinstatement?

I am close to getting the final ruling on my case with the OCRC (ohio)/EEOC. While nothing is guaranteed, my lawyer believes everything points towards getting the probable cause decision. In Ohio, we go to conciliation and if conciliation fails, it goes straight to the courts to rule on (no right to sue). Because of this, my lawyer believes I could get my job back if I wanted it. I work in healthcare and a niche field, so the termination and gossip has caused extreme harm to my reputation, leading to me having to take a less desirable job. Do you think it would be feasible to go back long enough to (hopefully) get a new job and leave or is it common to be retaliated against immediately upon return?
