No difference. Rating is submitted right after the interaction and well before I’d see a thank you email or not.

Ratings happen immediately. Thank you notes are irrelevant to outcome.

No one thanks me after interviews. I really don’t care. I barely read the resume either. How they present them selves, problem solve and speak to their experiences is what is important.

Do any of you look at cover letters? I do and I realize I’m probably in the minority here.

Man how petty would you have to be (or think people are) to have lack of generic thank you affect an interview outcome

I always felt these artificial thank you notes so unnecessary, now I know why people do this...

Doesn’t matter at all

I think it’s a nice touch, but the rating is already done.

I would rather not get a thank you because I don’t want to feel obligated to reply

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

In the current lateral market what is the usual time for hearing a decision after a final round of interviews? For context, final round went really well, it’s not even been a week yet, they thought I was a great fit etc, said they’re expanding and looking to hire someone ASAP. Just wanted to know what others’ experiences have been like.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

Had given the first round of interview. This is my current status. What next?

Wanted to bring out that staff-1's are paid peanuts (3.33L CTC) please don't expect them to slog 12-13 hours. They don't have enough motivation or incentives to work that long. Seniors,AM's and Managers should be more kind and explain the work to them clearly rather than making last minute changes.
