If you bombed the interview, it wont change their opinion. And if you aced it, they typically wont decide against an offer because you didnt send it.

A work environment where people thank other people for doing work and appreciate their time. lmao are you serious? Yeah, my team regularly needs to reach out other people to ask for data to manipulate where many people have busy work schedules. You gotta be personable and many people in our org are very friendly and caring Including a thank you note in an inter-office email between departments =////////= pointless thank you email after an interview If this person had sent you the email, would you have reconsidered and extended a job offer?

And if they did, that speaks to the kind of work environment youre signing up for, so its no loss. A work environment where people thank other people for doing work and appreciate their time. No, the kind of environment that favors ass kissing over actual talent. Interviews are a two way street. I am also taking time out of my day to evaluate if this is the right opportunity for me. Saying thank you and being polite is not ass kissing. Lol its like basic manners. Im not gonna refuse to move on from someone for not doing it, but if I have multiple good candidates this can be one of the factors that shows me they dont really have the big desire for this position. And if you are afraid of talking to people this is definitely not the right role for you haha I never advocated against saying thank you. Only that doing so in an email is unnecessary. Ive already shown what Im about on my interview. Ive already thanked my interviewers in person. Im not also sending an email. I am also in sales and talking to people is 100% of my job. Im on the phone all day. This has nothing to do with it.

A work environment that practices common courtesy? Sign me up. If they need a follow up email to evaluate the candidates level of courtesy, then their interview process is broken.

Making sure your resume is polished and highlights your achievements is much more important. This is also the advice I got years back from a family member who is a director of a recruiting firm btw.
