Not in IB- so take this with a grain of salt but I’d think keeping your momentum going throughout the next two weeks would be helpful.
I’m not sure if it would burn any bridges or not but you have two weeks to escape with the reputation you have already, and if you ever want to leverage people on your current team in the future (networking, referrals etc) I’d say to keep at it until the finish line.
If you aren't trying to burn bridges, still put in 80% effort and give facetime.
If you don't care, do what you like. At my current employer, I don't plan to keep in touch with many seniors besides a few of them. I'd still happily do their requests in the last 2 weeks but ghost the rest (which is the majority of them, I have no interest in keeping in touch long-term - I plan to delete my connection / number of my boss if he lays me off or I quit in the upcoming year or so).
