It won’t do any harm

My boss still remembers mine

I’m a firm believer that it can seal the deal

Absolutely. It's easiest for internal applicants because you don't have to go through the recruiter to send the note, so an email is absolutely expected.

I never had. In the 7 offers Ive had in the past 2 years never sent one. I think they should be sending us thank uou's for even wanting to work for them lol

Sure, it's the polite thing to do. It may not make a huge difference. But generally speaking, people want to work with people who have good manners and observe formalities. May not be as true as it used to be, but proper etiquette can matter.

Leaves a good impression still. I’ll do it after an internal job interview because I can easily find the interviewer’s contact info and I can continue building the connection. Occasionally if I really want the job, I’ll send one after other interviews. I would hope not sending a thank you note isn't the reason why someone didn’t get the job though.

Might help - might not. If you want the job why chance it. It’s quick to do and you’ll never regret doing it. Might regret it or wonder what if you don’t.

I sent them.. feels different knowing I’ll still be working with them and seeing them around.

Hi Fishes,

l interviewed for Deloitte (India not USI) in January, and accepted an offer letter with DOJ of 25th April, later HR asked me to join on 11th April for which I agreed. Now I haven't received the revised offer letter or any links other than BGV and Pre-Hire form from Deloitte and now the HR is not even picking my calls or responding to emails.

Any advice on what to do?
