Can I take anything else away from this response that I received from a hiring manager re. a thank you email that I sent, other than them being courteous?

"It was a pleasure to meet you and enjoyed getting to know about your experiences and how it could apply to the gap we are looking to fill, particularly your modelling skills."

Some context... I interviewed for an experience FP&A/strategy role at a late stage startup. I received this reply the morning-after my final interview with them.

Sounds good to me! Happy to help you overthink : ) Honestly, I do a lot of interviewing and I don't bother to write up an email, much less complimentary email, if I don't like the candidate

Thank you for the feedback! I’m hoping it’s a good sign because I really want the position. Fingers crossed!

It's a good sign that they personalized it by mentioning your modeling skills. At minimum, they noticed you. I know the waiting game is hard but hang in there; you should have an answer soon enough.

You are overthinking it! This is a great response. I would wait to hear more and try not to think about it. Better said than done, I know

I have an interview coming up with Church & Dwight. When the recruiter emailed me with 3 interview times I thought he was asking me what time works best. Turns out he was telling me I was scheduled for 3 different interviews for 3 different teams in one day. Has anyone heard of a company doing that or gone through this for an interview? It seems odd to me
