Despite being told there are “more people to interview”, radio silence after each interview, feeling like I definitely messed up on questions, them taking almost 2 weeks after my final interview to give me the offer, and me negotiating the salary while being afraid of the offer being rescinded, it all ended up being fine. I was told their higher ups were traveling which is why the process took this long.

So I’m here to first of all thank you guys for helping me through all the overthinking, this is the first interview process I went through specifically for my career and it was definitely a very stressful time.

I also want to call out that the things people say are always red flags (like saying there are more people to see, or taking long to get back to you), sometimes are just not that deep. Of course those experiences are valid as well, but they definitely made me panic a lot more than was warranted. If you’re also in the same process as I was, I have my fingers crossed for you!
