A friend of a friend submitted my portfolio for a role I’m really excited about 2 weeks ago. Haven’t heard from the company. Should I reach out to the recruiter on LinkedIn or do recruiters hate that?

Reach out and say you know so and so submitted your portfolio, intro, and you'd love to meet them! Can't hurt putting yourself out there. Good luck!

Reach out. Recruiters are soulless and most cases don’t have individuals on their radar. If you really want the spot show it and don’t give up

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
