Definite yay. For my current job, I sent handwritten letters.

Handwritten though.....

Just do it. Nothing to lose and don't be remembered for not doing it.

Pretty much required if you want the job. Short and sweet, call back to something you talked about, thank them for their time.

Far from required, more like expected or a nice touch. Anyone that won't give you a job for not sending a thank you note is a dunce.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

Hello Fishes, I interviewed at a company in October and they responded to me after a month. I accepted the verbal offer last week Wednesday. They said they would give written offer in a week. I have recruiters from the same company reach out for positions at different locations. My current recruiter said once I accept this I can't interview for other positions at the same company. Their process is so slow that I don't really want to miss out on any chance.What would be a great time to follow up?
