I always assume the worst - it's saved me from the consequences of other people's mindless optimism at work, but I'd love to enjoy the fleeting high of an interview that ends with "i'm being very candid, and you've heard this from everyone else as well, this was a great interview" for at least 30 seconds 😅

Hi, I recently applied to a salesforce company and was selected for an interview. I had interviews with a recruiter, department manager and hiring manager and did well in them all. My final interview was with the CEO which lasted for about 10 minutes. He said he has read the notes from the previous interviews and the recruiter will get in touch with you. What are the chances I do not get this job given that I did well in all 3 interviews leading to the final interview with the CEO?

Thoughts?
