The book of Job tells us that Satan was there talking to God.

Does it say that Satan was back in heaven talking to God?
It does not.
So, Satan also talked to God when Jesus met Him after the God-man had fasted for 40 days and nights.

"Satan is the accuser of the Brethren".......and He's not in Heaven doing it, yet he's always doing it.

Where was it that the angels came to present themselves before the Lord?

Job 1:6-7 NIV
One day the angels[a] came to present themselves
before the Lord, and Satan[b] also came with them.
7 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” ...

Well, angels "present" themsleves, and the devil is not doing this in the same sense.
He is being allowed to be heard, as the "accuser".
Job explains that the devil "walks to and fro upon the earth" as this is his domain, as He is "god of this world".

What i can tell you for certain, is that God exists in the KOG, and Satan does not.......so, when He is "with the angels"...Its not in the same sense, as His Iniquity that got Him cast out of Heaven, prevents Him from reentering.

And, one more..

Jesus is our Heavenly "advocate'. (if you are born again on earth).....and that is in the sense of a defense lawyer., and He's defending Believers, against the Devil's accusations based on Jesus Himself being their Blood Atonement..
