thank you emails or no? are they necessary? what's the consensus on this for callbacks?

Not necessary. The thank you won't help you and typos will hurt you. Some people see them as just clogging up they're inbox. That being said I send them anyway after I schedule my callback just to let them know when I'm coming in and that I'd like to drop by if they're free.

I guess you're referring to thank yous for screeners. what about callbacks where the conversations are generally a bit extended?

YES. You want to send a thank you email for a callback. Preferably within 24 hours of your interview.

The above reply is totally off base. There is need to send thank yous even after callbacks.

Decisions re: hiring are usually made shortly after your callback or screener. To be honest, by the time you get home, draft the thank you, review it, have a friend review it, and then send it, the decision would already have been made.

No you do not need to send thank you emails for callbacks. It will literally make no difference if you send one or not. The only one I sent was in response to congratulations emails from interviewers at the firm where I accepted my SA offer. I know many other people who also didn't send any thank you emails after either screeners and CBs and still did just fine during EIP and CBs.

Probably similarly, only send a thank you if I get an offer and am considering a second look or accepting the offer. But it really doesn't matter and I think it's just personal preference. I guess for me it's more, thank you for inviting me back, than, thank you for interviewing me.

Just got Goodwin NY (ES) callback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally got the first callback after a week of despair. She said she had called six people before calling me but no one picked up the phone. So stay close to your phone if you're not in an interview.
