I forgot to send a follow up thank you email after an interview. Is sending an email one week after the interview too late? Is it better now to not send one at all? How bad does this make me look?

Doesn’t look bad. In the end it will come down to if the interview went well and if they think you’re a good fit for the role. I wouldn’t think too much into it.

Its no need if they really want you. The HR called me 30mins after the interview informing that they are drafting an offer. Lol

From the interviewer side, I’ve always thought the thank you letter, follow up email is a waste of time. I make my decision about a candidate, and then move on. I’m not going to change my recommendation after the fact based on whether or not I receive a thank you letter.

Not bad at all

I have knowledge in python and sql. I also have some development skills, reactjs and stuff(not relevant to data analytics).
Should I increase my skill set before starting to apply to other firms?
