Lol why are you asking us plebs

I think it’s still a good idea, but framed less as a “thank you” and much more as some kind of follow-up to your conversation. And not just “It was great what you said about xyz,” but adding something genuinely smart, useful and that shows you have given some insightful thinking to the role you’d be taking over.

It’s good to do, whether we read it or not

Agree. I would also use it as an opportunity to in a sense back up what you've previously discussed. Keep it short, to the point, and potentially sell yourself one last time. You could theoretically keep it under 200 words, maybe a bit more.

• step 1: Thank you.
• step 2: Summarize your convo and speak to your points (2-3)
• step 3: summarize how you can speak to those points.
• step 4: one more haymaker of bragging with a post script. I P.S the shit out or emails. People read them.
• step 5: ??????
• step 6: Profit.

I’ve been promoted with a title but not the responsibilities.

As I see it, I’m looking for a lateral move because I don’t actual have experience as a true “senior”.
