Hi All,
Long time lurker here with a quick question.
I just left an interview for a FT position but did not get a business card (should have asked, I know). I cannot find the interviewer's email, but I do see them on LinkedIn. Would it be appropriate to send a follow-up thank you email to them on LinkedIn through the Inmail feature? I might also be able to guess their email if I tried.
Please advise. Thank you!

That's what I was thinking of doing with guessing the email. I am pretty sure I can get it right. Thanks for your feedback. Any other thoughts?
if you just tell the forum what the firm name is, somebody will probably be able to provide you with the email format and I can't imagine it'll compromise your anonymity unless its a tiny shop that only interviewed at couple people.
Often at FT interviews people intentionally don't give out business cards because they don't want to be hit with a bunch of thank you emails - I'd say you're ok if you don't send one, and based on what people at banks have told me, it'd actually be pretty creepy if you sent one on Linkedin. Guessing email is probably ok, but not necessary - I've been invited to final round interviews at banks (and got the internship at the bank I'll be working at FT) without thank you emails when business cards weren't provided.
Paperless post is a nice option, kind of halfway between a physical card and an email
Please don't do this. I have no problem with Paperless post in general, but it doesn't pass the professionalism smell test. I would find it extremely weird if I got one following an interview.
I landed a P/E internship this summer and I sent one. To each their own.
Having been an interviewer:
I made the ding/pass through decision on the interview day after the last interview, so a thank you e-mail would have made no difference
Only skim read thank you e-mails to check if there was some question I had to answer, then deleted the e-mails or forwarded to HR for follow up
That said, other people have said they appreciate thank you e-mails. I doubt it influences a hiring decision, though.
Rule of thumb on thank you notes: they can only hurt you.
