@PE1 not about you, about getting ahead of the competition. Usually there are 2 or more really good candidates in the finals for a job. Comes down to the little things and details that make the difference in the end..

Generally no because the decision to hire wouldn't be based off of that. Yes, it's common courtesy, but if they like you and you can do the job it won't matter about thank yous.

Usually final interviews aren't necessarily about who can just do the job, but about fit and personality. If you think you're so good that you can't bother with a simple thank you, that can say a lot about what you're like to work with. I've spoken with many managers after the fact who've said a thoughtful thank you had helped influence their decision. It's shocking how many people fail to send these out -- and it can be a differentiator when differences are slim, like JPM3 said.

Nope. Is that a US thing?

I just do it because I think it's a classy thing to do, and if it helps boost my favor then cool. I always appreciated getting them from candidates when I interview. Work is about building relationships- this is standard networking practice as far as I'm concerned.

For associates who have lateraled in the last 6 months or so, what made you decide to move? Has your situation improved since moving? I’m a transactional mid-level & I’ve interviewed with some great firms recently. I’m struggling to get excited though…it just seems like no matter where I go I’ll be overworked & under appreciated. Hoping there are some positive stories out there to give me hope. Haha

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
