And if so, do I send it to recruiting and interviewers?

I'd send it to just 1 of your interviewers, esp. if you got along particularly well w/ one of them and then ask them to pass along your gratitude to the rest of the people you met, including recruiters.

I was told not to do this...

Not expected; won't help; can hurt.

People go both ways but I always do. I got an offer and I attribute it to my thank you email (I had to clarify some of the things I said during the interview)... but that's just my guess.

I always send a brief email thank-you. I don't think it's necessary, but I don't think it can hurt you so long as you take a tiny bit of time and make sure your note isn't misspelled or contains egregious errors.

don't do it. its an unnecessary risk with next to no upside.

Really? After a 30 minute + discussion someone was on the fence about you, but a thank you note changed their mind?

I think so, yes. The interviewer asked me some questions regarding my enthusiasm for the firm and I was wishy washy in person but much more emphatic in my thank you. She replied and said she'd take what I wrote in consideration. The next day, she personally called and gave me an offer.

I've also gotten no response to my thank you emails as well... no need to be sarcastic. Like I said, people go both ways it's by no means a silver bullet.

Jesus, this has been done like 50 million times. Use the search function, people!

search function sucks now so this is a somewhat excusable thread.

to OP: Go with your gut. I find it polite and helps calm my nerves knowing I did everything I could. If you do do it, make sure you check for typos. If you can't edit a short paragraph, then either 1) don't send it or 2) don't be a lawyer.

Does the same apply to DC?
