Dear Joanna,
I’m on a six-month contract working at a local large law firm. My contract is winding down with three months left. Out of fear of being unemployed again once the contract ends, I started applying for jobs in other law firms. As you know, jobs are scarce and the competition is fierce. One employer has invited me to a job interview! Now I feel badly about applying now since I’ve developed a pretty good rapport with everyone at my present company.
If I were to actually be offered another job, do you think it’s okay to leave, say 2 months before the end of the contract?
