I’d say it’s more important to send a thank you at this stage tbh. But 4 fucking interviews is ridiculous (yes I know it’s common, and yes it’s still ridiculous)

I never send thank you notes. It's like answering "what's your greatest strength and weakness?"

Setting it up. It’s getting tiring to send thank you note each time the recruiter set up an interview and I am running out of what to say. Is ok to stop a thank you note at this point?

Come on, it's not hard at all.
If you're excited about this job, be genuine and don't send some garbage text just for the sake of it. People will appreciate that. Good luck!

No, still important. Just recycle phrases.

Don’t get me wrong I am excited and would do anything to get this job. I was more worried about the recruiter side and sending too many thank note may feel annoying to him. But it is a crazy process, 1-2 week between each interviews (2 of them phone interviews) and me following in a week after sending a thank you note that I get respond for next step! I don’t know what is going on?

Everyone sends thank you notes at this point. It’s not original and it’s lost importance for me. I’d look at the portfolios of the people who interviewed you and send them an email about work they’ve done that you liked and are interested in making with them. If you’re ballsy, you can also say “I loved this, but did you ever think about......during your process?” Make them feel like they’re already working with you. Good luck!

That second bit could backfire...

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 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?
