i would say land the job first
tell them you need 2 months notice, right?
then wait a month before you tell your bastard boss and just behave like a real git. I mean a real git big time. But get the job first. We here at b3ta will ease your passage like warm vasaline.

There could be a flaw in this plan
If he gets the other job they will presumably take up references after offering it to him. His employer will know about it well before the first month is up.

This needn't matter. As soon as the refs go through, then it's plain sailing.
It means that at the very least the last three weeks can be fun fun fun.

Yes but I mean it won't be a surprise for the boss when he has been asked for references

Well this is true.
But that in itself would technically make it more fun.

Haha, yes!
Pretend you don't know anything after your boss has already sent said references, then give the bare minimum notice requirement.

Assuming that the boss doesn't wait until you are about to leave to do the reference.
