Do people still write thank you notes after interviews? I typically don’t, especially since I don’t usually have the interviewer’s contact details. Wondering if that’s still the standard

I’ve actually heard that most people don’t. I highly recommend it though because it allows you 2 advantages:
1. Distinguishing yourself amidst a crowd
2. Showcasing empathy and emotional intelligence for addressing that you appreciate their time and authentic interest in the job

Absolutely do it. You can ask the recruiter to pass the note(s) along or ask for their email address & just explain what it’s for.

99.9% of prospective Analysts I've interviewed did it. I think it's so commonplace that if you don't, you might give the interviewer the false sense that you're not interested. People are busy and are taking time to interview you, and I consider a basic manner to thank the person for their time and repeat why you're interested, and leave a trace that will differenciate you from others.
I think it's very risky not to do it because most people do it, believe it or not. You don't want to be the one that didn't thank the interviewer.
When I'm applying myself I always do, and sometimes get nice responses which shows appreciation on the other end.

If you don't have their email, ask the HR or recruiter to forward your note. It won't hurt, and will make you look good, because you respect the person's privacy if they didn't share their email.

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
