I used to think follow up emails didn’t matter until a hiring manager mentioned one that stood out. It wasn’t fancy, just thoughtful. Small effort, big signal. Do you usually follow up after interviews?

I used not to, but realized that it is important for candidates, you shouldn't leave them hanging, I now give a follow up after every interview and hope to receive one.

All of the job offers I've received were exclusively after my post email. I don't think it changed their minds but it definitely solidified their selection.

I've made previous hiring decisions based on who sent me a thank you follow up email vs those who didn't...

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?
