Need suggestions on giving notice. I've been at my small firm for almost 3 years, and I've expressed interest in making partner in the past. However, due to remote jobs opening up, I'm finding a lot of new possibilities for something I'm more interested. Would not be surprised if I had 2-4 offers within the next 2 weeks. I don't want to leave my old firm over staffed as they are extremely reliant on me. I will also definitely run into them again as I live in pretty small city. How do I handle?

Do what’s best for you. If they don’t handle it professionally it’s an indication that being a partner there would be great. Source: I moved from small/mid firm to a biglaw firm 5 years ago and got walked out the next day, after being told if I stayed I’d be up for partner a year earlier and how important I was to the firm.

Edit, but I think people understood: wouldn’t*

Make sure your cases are all caught up and there are no super tight deadlines then make sure that you give enough notice.

Not your fault that you've made your wishes known and they haven't at least had a conversation with you about it.

Yeah, don’t worry about those relationships so long as you do everything professionally. I left a midsize firm and received a partnership offer and an invitation to return back, but I never took it and they never reached out to stay connected to me. You’ll be talked about for a while then people will move on as they always do.

I did this a long time ago. One partner wished me well and the other basically told me I was dead to him and hoped I fail. Be tactful, respectful, and do what you think is right. If you do that, it’s all you can do because they will spin it whatever way they want to based on their own internal narrative.
