It’s all part of the test I guess. No need to get angry, it’s just part of the game and we are usually not the ones setting up the rules.
Not until you succeed at the game that is

Those that send a thankyou email fail the test and have to work for that guy.
"You disgrace ~~the oval office~~ our office"
Make sure to send thank you emails daily so they know how thankful you are. If you can't spam me email everyday singing my praises then how could i consider hiring you?
I also got a hint: pass the bar exam.
If I get a pointless thank you email, I'd be worried the person will spam my inbox with useless garbage if hired. Still better than not sending emails when they serve a purpose.
I got an in-the-mail thank you card from someone I interviewed once. We didn’t end up hiring them but it was a nice gesture. I know when I was first interviewing for jobs ~20 years ago it was common advice to send a followup / thank you.
Ya pass
Thank you emails are good. The real question is, should you space it out. Like a day or two after the interview? Because sending one right after does zero IMO. You need to keep yourself on their minds and as we all do....we forget.
So keep yourself in their minds and give it a day or two after the interview

Thank you emails and letters are old school ways of show appreciation for the chance for a job. IMO this is a bit dated but totally fine especially if the job is a customer facing one where their manners actually matter.
I don't want a follow-up email. Either you were selected for a second round, or you were not.
Pestering me about it isn't going to help.
