I'll send an email if:

  • I still want to work there after interviewing
  • it's to a peer (i.e. someone I might see in the future at a conference or another job)
  • I really did enjoy talking with them
  • they're on the hiring committee (as far as I can tell)

Then I'll send an email like: "hi, it was great talking with you, I hope things go well and we end up working together." Then if we do run across each other professionally in the future, we're more likely to remember each other.

Sorry, was trying to make a joke but failed. Wasn't trying to be an ass.

In other words you will email if you have motivation that isn't just meeting weird arbitrary expectations. Interesting!
