I spoke with a very nice recruiter, and the interview process moved really fast. I felt like it went very well. There were two interviews over Teams and one in person. I was almost sure I'd get an offer because they said they needed to fill the role quickly. I emailed them three days later, but it's been over a week and they haven't gotten back to me.
