Lol the one firm I sent a thank-you email to rejected me. Didn’t send any to other firms and got CBs from them. I don’t think they help or hurt - but honestly I don’t think they do anything (maybe with exception to a small or midsize law firm where personal emails might mean more??)...

Didn’t send any thank you notes. At any panel session I attended this year, speakers always mentioned that thank you notes can only hurt and would never help.

Obviously anecdotal, but every firm I sent a thank you note to has responded favorably to receiving it. I’ve been told by several partners (all at V50 firms) that they expect thank you notes. I don’t know if it appreciably helps candidates, but my view was that I didn’t want to hurt myself by not sending them since I was told my multiple (think 10+) partners that they’re expected.

10+ partners did not say this to you. This is a weird thing to lie about.

You’re right it would be a weird thing to lie about, which is why I didn’t lie. You don’t have to believe me but they absolutely did tell me that. Full disclosure: they are not networking contacts they are people I’ve known for a long time.

Nah, this did not happen. And if it did, law students should disregard anyway. I assure you, no one is getting dinged for lack of a thank you email.

Did anyone at least get a ding from O'Melveny?

I've given up hope as I'm sure this ship sailed but put me out of my misery.

Did I say you’d be dinged without one? No. What I said is that I was told my multiple partners that they expect thank you notes and that I’ve had a favorable response when I’ve sent them.

I truly don’t care if you believe me and I did say it was anecdotal. I have no reason to lie about this. Believe what you want. I’m sure you’re going to have a great outcome regardless of whether or not you send thank yous.
