How should you explain working for a job for 3-4 months and being let go due to associates leaving and partners “don’t have time to train” (on cover letter)

Don’t put it on the cover letter. If they ask, aa1 gave a good answer.

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

I've accepted my first SE role and I'm wondering how I did on salary. I'm coming from a network consultant role where I primarily implemented projects. My background is strictly technical, but as a consultant its also very client facing. Overall 10 YoE. I live in a lcol area. My OTE is $175k (80/20). It's a good move for me from previous salary, wanting to compare it as an SE salary though. Given lack of sales background, I think I did good.

Does becoming partner at a firm increase your attractiveness to other potential employers? I’ve been at my firm for 8/9 years and I am looking to jump ship ASAP due to what people are telling me is an underpaid salary. But the managing partner says if I stick it out another 6 months and hit big hours all of those months, he’ll “submit me for partner.” I don’t intend to stick around here long term, it would just be for the title. He would not tell me how much more I’d make as a partner.

Didn't go to top tier law school and graduated with low gpa yet have 3 years exp. Recently have been working with boutique for contracted out work who gave offer which is significantly lower than prior role (about 40k). Role would have no billables and any business brought in would be practically equally split percentage-- is this role a good idea?
