Yo, if you’ve had a final round with a bank and you simply know that you didn’t perform well enough to have a chance. Do you still write a thank you mail, stating you are more interested than ever to join them etc etc
Or is it better to just accept the defeat and move on? Feels like they might receive the mail and just laugh at it

Just write it. There’s no way to 100% know you didn’t get the offer. Better to be safe than sorry.
There is no downside to writing one. Do it.
You should send one. Whether you land hte offer or not, it's a good look to send a little thank you. Costs you nothing.
Ty guys I sent it. He basically answered:
“Thank you for your time. We will reach out to you with feedback and potentially about the next step in the process”
