Do I really need to send thank-you note post interview? (London)
Seems like a weird thing to ask given the consensus here is that you should always send a thank you note 24hr after an interview.
From my perspective, I have seen absolutely 0 benefit from sending a thank you note in my previous processes. I have actually never received an offer after sending a thank-you note post-final round; all of my offers have come having not sent anything after an interview.
The reason I am asking this is because I recently had an IB AC (superday) this week, and I did really well on technicals, but I couldn't sleep the night before and ended up being pretty emotionless/robotic throughout the interview, although my interviewer wasn't the happiest guy in the world either. I am thinking of sending a thank-you note to the interviewer so he at least knows I have enthusiasm for the role (which I do).
In London, what is the consensus of sending thank-you notes? I feel like the culture in the UK is quite repulsed by candidates seeming desperate and, by extension, sending thank you notes.
Thanks!
Not a thing in London. I landed EB without sending a single note to anyone. HR runs the show in London.
Bump
(1) I'm curious about how London bankers perceive thank you notes in general
(2)Does it make sense to add-in a more robust answer to a defective answer you gave to a technical question – within the thank you note
I’ve heard your point 2 isn’t a good idea. Seems weird/desperate + decision will have already been made. Anyone can search an answer to a technical they got wrong after interview.
people do some weird things to get an "edge". Signatures on Cover Letters, name dropping strangers, thank you notes...
In reality, I don't think this really moves the needle. I never done any of this autist shit and got offers at multiple BBs. If you want to do it cool, its nice. But stop overthinking it.
How does signature on a cover letter give you an edge lol
Sounds like the clueless thing I'll have done in 2022—not to get an edge, but—just because I didn't know that electronic cover letters didn't need a signature
It doesn't. Which it is why I put it is quote marks. These kids are under the illusion that these things make a difference.

Probably makes no difference but there is also 0 downside.
