A friend just got a job offer. Because they want him available for a trip, he has exactly two weeks before starting. Is two weeks notice a courtesy or unwritten requirement these days if there’s no contract?

I think it's a courtesy. My friend accepted a job and had two weeks to find a new apartment, quit her job, and move.

Giving two weeks notice is a courtesy, and over time it has become an unwritten rule. There's no way to enforce it, however, unless it's in a written contract. Most people observe it just because it's polite and it avoids burning any bridges.

My first thought was your friend needs to make more time for himself between gigs!

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive. The alternative is another masters in CS which is the same cost as many boot camps. Any recommendations on picking between a coding boot camp and getting another masters degree in CS? I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).
