I am definitely being neurotic here but in my experience I get responses to maybe 1/4 - 1/3 of thank you notes based on past experiences and the responses tend to be warmer if things went well. I had a super day last Friday and have not gotten a single response from the 5 people I emailed. I thought it went really well but now I’m doubting my performance. Am I cooked?

It's hard, but try not to overthink it. I certainly appreciate receiving a thank you note, but I almost never respond to them.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, not receiving responses to thank you notes after a superday does not necessarily mean you're "cooked." It's common for interviewers to not respond to thank you emails, as they may be busy or simply not in the habit of replying. In fact, some professionals on WSO have shared that they skim through thank you emails without responding, especially after a long day of interviews.
Additionally, the lack of responses doesn't directly correlate with your performance or the outcome. Decisions are often made collectively by the team, and the absence of a reply could simply reflect their workload or internal processes rather than your candidacy.
Stay patient and avoid overthinking. If you felt the interviews went well, trust your instincts and wait for the official communication from HR or the firm. Good luck!
