Had final interview at startup with CEO and would-be direct supervisor and at the end they were using language like "you'll be our first [name of role]"... Does this mean I basically got it, or should I not read into it? I'll find out soon anyway, but appreciate any speculation 😅

It’s definitely a good sign! But I’ve had mixed results in the past when they’ve said things like that to me. One time I got the job, the other time they ghosted me 🥲
