Thanks, Potential-Future-Boss-Man, for letting me know you're an actual piece of shit who has unclear expectations and plays games with their employees. Now I know to work quite literally anywhere else.

An interview is a business transaction being negotiated and requires equal participation from both parties. The only 'thank you' that should be exchanged for such things is a solid handshake and a polite "Good day" when the interview is over. Be respectful and sincere, but don't buy into the childish "I'm the boss and you must grovel at my feet for a penny" game that so many managers and corporate assholes love to play.

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?

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.
