Is it a norm to send a thank you note through your recruiter? I had an iffy interview, and wondering if I bother sending a thank you note. It was very clear that they were trying to do a stress interview so I feel weird saying the usual nice things.

Hmm what is a stress interview? I went through a similar experience as well. I never really send any thank you notes tbh. I feel like it makes me seem like a rookie. You had to take time out of your day as well. Besides a thank you note does not make or break the offer so what’s even the point. If it does that’s kinda petty and I wouldn’t want to work for that place anyways.

I think thank you notes are courteous. However, it’s hit or miss on it they’ll ever get to us as the interviewers.
If I do get it from the candidate, it won’t change my ultimate decision, but I do think it shows kind character/caring, which ultimately falls under Googleyness.
I’m not sure what a stress interview is.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
