You’re leaving but haven’t given notice?

Years ago, I gave 3 weeks notice when they were discussing sending me to Nova Scotia for a project.

Point being, you can do more than 2 weeks...what are they gonna do about it?

That's even more rare than people not passing their background checks. No one is filing that paperwork, they'll just let you leave. Very low risk.

Continue normally till the day you put your papers..then give enough time for backfill..

If you are giving notice this Friday, maybe put your foot down about the work not being a fit for you, or ride out and half ass the next 2-3 daysm. If you give notice next Friday, maybe conveniently get sick for several days...

If you're simply musing about leaving, then you're probably out of luck.

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.

I want to brag on my kid, but I don’t want to embarrass him, so I’m doing it here.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him work this hard - and I couldn’t be more proud. The grades that come easily don’t impress me nearly as much as the ones that are hard fought.
