Firm owner told me last month we should part ways before the end of the year. I had asked for clarification on the timeline during the initial talk and was just told this year and that they'd reach out if anything changed.

Fast forward to now and someone just reached out to me on LinkedIn wanting to know about my firm and mentioning they just applied to the junior position there (me being one of three juniors). Based on this role going up, am I imminently out, because it sure feels like I am

Respectfully, I don’t think you should hang around to find out, and definitely not until the end of the year. The moment that conversation happened, you should have started applying elsewhere on a near full time basis. You have been “politely” fired. At most big law firms, you are explicitly told you have 2-3 months when you are shown the door. I would treat this very similarly.

Oh yeah. I started applying non-stop the day after we had that conversation. I guess the way it was phrased made me at least think I might have more time than the standard 3 months if I unfortunately couldn't find something yet, but you're right I should have looked at it as the standard 2-3 months.

It may be fine with them to have some overlap but I would be nervous too.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
