If you want the job send the thank you email

like

Or, don't send a "thank you" and see if you get the job. How much time and energy will you spend to write a short note? I sent a "thank you" email for the phone interview, but when I met at their office, I knew it wasn't the job for me, so no "thank you" was sent. I could have sent a "thanks, but no thanks", but my happiness was more important than any job.

Yup!

I don’t think a thank you letter is needed. If they like you, it doesn’t matter.

I stopped sending thank you letters and following up after interviews. It doesn’t seem to matter and is a waste of time when doing interviews. The job offer I ended up with recently (and my last job) did not include any thank you email from me. But throughout the process I tried to thank the interviewer verbally or in response to recruiter emails.

Unless it's a REALLY small company where the founder / CEO is involved in every hire and is wholly preoccupied about culture and fit...no, you don't need to send a thank you notes. No decent, professionally-run company (not small business; company) is making hiring decisions based on thank you notes.

It's low-cost, and sometimes can help leaving an impression. It won't hurt, though it certainly won't raise your chances meaningfully.
