Thank You Notes for Lateral Interviews
There seems to be mixed advice on this, but for biglaw lateral interviews what's the best approach for thank you notes? Via e-mail or handwritten? How soon after the onsite interview? Thanks.

Re: Thank You Notes for Lateral Interviews
I was a midlevel BigLaw lateral last year. After consultation with my recruiter, I did thank you emails very quickly (within 12 hours) after a full round (half-day) of interviews for firms I was most interested in. Seemed to go over well. I don't think it hurt.
Now that I work for one of the firms I thank-you-emailed...we read them. We think kindly of them. We send them all to a central email address for aggregation/review by recruiting staff. I'm not entirely sure it makes a huge substantive difference, but it generally makes a positive impression.

no one at my firm gives a fuck about canned, two-line thank you emails. they are at best neutral and at worst a negativeAnonymous User wrote:I was a midlevel BigLaw lateral last year.

on the other hand, if you want to say something a bit more personalized, by all means do so

Re: Thank You Notes for Lateral Interviews
OP here. Sent personalized but brief email thank you notes about 5 minutes ago and already got two responses. Guess it probably doesn't hurt to send them but who knows.
