I know that usually you need to put your 2 weeks when leaving, but is it possible to put only one? I heard other companies even say you can leave now and they pay you the 2 weeks, anyone familiar with this?

My coworker put in his 2 weeks at EY and they asked for his unit on the spot with the 2 weeks paid out. I think that is relatively common.

I had a verbal offer last Monday to start on the 15th, at that time if I gave notice it would have been two weeks. but I didn’t get a written offer until a Wednesday and thus gave notice on Thursday that expires on the 12th. I gave 6 days notice. Do I feel douchey? Yeah a little bit. But at the end of the day, you have to do what’s best for you.

New gig starts on Monday and then I’ll dox myself here on Fishbowl.

I mean you don't *need* to give any notice if your contract is at-will (most in the US). It's more of a courtesy. I know my firm's handbook says it is expected to "maintain good standing" (e.g. if you want to boomerang, want references).

I think it just depends on your case, are you on the bench or in the middle of the project? How essential are you? It's ultimately up to you.
