I personally never sent thank you e-mails when I interviewed. If you want to send one, make sure it's not some generic garbage - it's considered too bankerish/bureaucratic and we hate it. If anything, simply reiterate your interest/show them you're hungry/tell them how badly you want the job. Hell, say you'd accept an offer on the spot.

 

I hate getting thank you e-mails for the exact reason DMMSY just said, they're bankerish and annoying. If you're gonna send one at all be interesting, express your interest, and maybe make me laugh. Don't cross the line though because I'm sure other people aren't as sick and twisted as I am.

I hate victims who respect their executioners
 

Thanks for the insight guys.

I agree, thank-you emails can be so mundane and generic, so the goal here is to stand out. I'll give it some more thought and if I have anything valuable to point out, I will put it into words.

@ DontMakeMeShortYou - honestly, I would love to tell this guy that I'd accept an offer with a salary cut if they would extend one. Unfortunately that would sound incredibly desperate, but that's really how tremendous an opportunity this is, and how good of a fit I think the firm is for me.
