Has anyone ever told their directors/partner at work they are considering leaving without having an offer in hand?

If you have a good relationship with the Partner, as you mentioned, they will be willing to support your pursuit in a role that you desire.

I had conversations with a Partner when I thought of leaving and he set me up with coffees with people external to the firm as well.

Good partners will want the best for you because it will serve in their best interest, and the firms best interest, in the long run. If you have that relationship with someone, no harm in having that convo. The people that tell you no have clearly not had the correct mentors in their professional career.

I ended up leaving to a different group (stayed within firm) and still keep in touch with that partner. Hell, we’re in 2 different fantasy basketball leagues together.

Having conversations about your goals your (even if a path outside the firm) with trusted mentors is almost never a bad idea. Worst case they brush you off and don’t have anything helpful to say. Most likely they can offer you good perspective and advice on your options having been in your shoes before. Best case they make introductions to concrete opportunities for you.

You have a good relationship until you don't. In this environment it is unlikely your partner will move mountains to get you a role. If they offered IB in your firm then it is a different situation.
