There's is nothing worse in job hunting than dealing with companies with this mentality/culture.

Degrade yourself while we give you the runaround or you don't get the job! Fuck you. Hell is not enough, I cast the Locust Plague upon ye ๐Ÿฆ—๐Ÿฆ—๐Ÿฆ—

If I get a pointless thank you email, I'd be worried the person will spam my inbox with useless garbage if hired. Still better than not sending emails when they serve a purpose.

I got an in-the-mail thank you card from someone I interviewed once. We didnโ€™t end up hiring them but it was a nice gesture. I know when I was first interviewing for jobs ~20 years ago it was common advice to send a followup / thank you.

Thank you emails are good. The real question is, should you space it out. Like a day or two after the interview? Because sending one right after does zero IMO. You need to keep yourself on their minds and as we all do....we forget.

So keep yourself in their minds and give it a day or two after the interview

I don't want a follow-up email. Either you were selected for a second round, or you were not.

Pestering me about it isn't going to help.
