I have an initial recruiter phone interview with Square Thursday. Is it it just a phone call or is it a video call and they didn’t specify. If it’s a video call what’s the dress code like? I’m coming from consulting so all my interviews were in suits. Any tips to get past the recruiter phone screen?
Happy weekend y’all

A thank you note is literally just being considerate. It’s not going to affect how much they pay you.
Send it and don’t think twice.
As an interviewer, honestly, it doesn't matter much. Pretty sure I've never hired or excluded a candidate based on a thank you email.
That said, a short consise email will never be frowned upon
An interview thank you can be so much more than a thank you. You don't have to get on your knees. Just be polite, and maybe even frame yourself as a perfect candidate. So few people do thank you emails, but it's a free opportunity for your name to be recognized again. Like Apple doesn't stop advertising to you if you have an iPhone already. Not a perfect analogy, but I think the point is evident.
I get that you don't want to seem desperate - so be confident, don't harp on the thanks, and craft it with the intention of trying to get higher comp.
You’re not crazy at all! My only real perspective on this is that while some managers don’t care about them AT ALL, there are others that will make (lousy) hiring decisions based on the lack of thank you email (or grammatically incorrect/inaccurate) follow ups. I say send them, keep it short and simple. Post it here if you need help/feedback!
Or honestly it's kind of awkward. The people I spoke to were young and we were somewhat casual and friendly. I'm pretty sure I'm a shoo-in for this job, but they're going to lowball me. And I feel like a thank you note almost is a sign of desperation or weakness in some circumstances. I know it's also just gratitude for their time and input on questions I had. I'm just trying to think strategically - but also don't want to be rude. I have a tendency to be too nice and too thankful both in my personal life and professionally and I think it makes me look weak and could hurt my bargaining power when it comes to salary. Thoughts? Am I crazy?
I'd say it can only help and not hurt. I have done many interviews in my line of work, and while a TY note doesn't make up for experience/skills needed, it can be the thing that puts you ahead of another candidate of equal caliber. Sometimes it's the little things that are considered when it's down to the tough decision. Good luck!!
Thanks for the feedback. Just a follow-up question - I was always under the impression that a thank you was kind of required. And it's rude not to do some sort of follow up. From your responses it seems like it's more just a nice add-in but not something that's necessarily rude or unprofessional if you don't do. Just curious about people's perceptions and thoughts. Thanks
I think it depends how you were raised. Thank you's were engrained in me from a young age. However I've noticed that many millennials have abandoned traditional etiquette
