I do. It's important for reputation. Within 24 hours. BUT, if someone asks for status, I do state "If you do not hear from us within 72 hours, please assume we have moved to another candidate." At least with that, we don't run the risk of someone saying we did not get back to them.

If you really like the role and the company, no harm in sending a thank you email ☺️

like

Yes, I do it I have time and I see them. When we are interviewing for multiple roles, then I get overwhelmed with "thank you" emails so I tend not to reply then

like

No, I honestly don’t value them at all. I’m not going to hire one person for sending a 30 second email, I’m going to hire them for the skills we assessed in the interview process.

like

No - unless you’re completely underutilized and not performing essential functions.

I don't respond to a generic thank you but if they've asked a question around the position/company/something specific to the interview then yes, I will respond. If it probes further around time frame for offers then depending on the person I would respond accordingly. If it was just to say thanks and when will I hear back, then no.

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
