Interview Thank You notes

Hi, had some phone interviews over the past few days and was wondering if post-interview thank you notes were a thing in investment banking (Europe/UK). Interviews were first round phone calls for the most part, some more informal side I feel. Also curious if things change when the interview was done through a recruiting firm.

Perhaps a weird question, I'm not sure. 

Thanks to anyone who might know

Maybe unpopular opinion but I don't believe in sending thank you notes after interviews because it negatively affects your image as a candidate. It makes you look desperate for the job and sets the tone that the company did you a favor by interviewing you, rendering you as lower status. 

I've never gotten a job where I've sent thank you notes after the interview. Oddly enough, it was when I didn't bother reaching out afterwards where I got my last two offers.
