Yay. Email at the least.

ALWAYS! How is this even a question?

Always a thank you, preferably by email. Don’t do it via social media. Had an applicant try to connect with me on Facebook after the interview. Nope. Uh uh. No way.

If you're interested, yes.

If you're not, no.

Yey- but paperless post is better because it’s more realistic that they’ll/ I’ll open it

Just email is fine. I don’t want physical notes cluttering up my space / going in the trash.

Yay. Could sometimes be a tie breaker between two relatively equal candidates

@AE1 I personally prefer email because it’s easier to start a conversation; that being said I’ve gotten some kickass handwritten notes!

like

Always - hand written notes

like

Yes

Yas

Yay!

Always. To give thanks and reflect on the opportunity.

Etiquette demands it

Always!!

Yes! 100%. I always respond with a thank you via email the same day followed by an in person one a few days later.

And by person, I mean a handwritten thank you note that I deliver.

Yeah.. was more wondering about if I really wasn’t interested in the job... but guess it’s not worth burning bridges in the long run.

Always! Email is preferable, within 24 hours. Include specifics but keep it to a paragraph or so.

@ASD1 interesting - would you prefer an email over a handwritten note? I was always told handwritten notes were more personal and meaningful

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
