Has anyone ever tried sending handwritten follow-up thank you cards (post interview)? Has it worked?

Never tried but interested. How would that work, would you mail it to them? It would take a few days to arrive, they might think you ignored them/made their decision already?

Hmmm seems like a lot of work OP. But no harm in trying. Post your results here later and good luck!

I do. I usually send a quicker email thank you for timeliness, and send the hand-written notes the same day so they arrive quickly. The key is bringing them with you to the interview, stamped and addressed to the office, so you can write them out right away and drop them in the mail. As for results? I've converted nearly every in-person interview into an offer- can't speak to causation, but I like the hand-written thank you because it shows effort and adds a personal touch.

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!!
