Are these green flags after a rough interview?

Based on this wordy post, does it seem like I have a serious chance at a job offer? I know it means nothing until I get an offer, but it's the first sign of life in a very long time. THURSDAY: I had a interview with a company I applied to recently. It was meant to be a Teams meeting, but we had to switch a phone call thanks to mic issues on my end (bad start). I thought the interview was one of my worst ever. It was clear that the questions he were asking were far more technical and detailed than I knew how to answer at all. It was brutal. However, when the interview was done, I felt like there was a surprising amount of good signs: \- It was my longest interview so far, going well past the scheduled time. The conversation was never light hearted or had much small talk, and there were many times I fumbled an answer. \- But I did ask a ton of questions, including ones that indicated I'd looked up his position before the interview. He seemed happy to give long detailed answers \- Towards the second half, started saying things like "Everyone is teachable." "We're all humans and mistakes happen." (Got the sense I must have across as trainable and eager to learn- unbelievable strategy unlocked?). \- Asked about when I can start and I did hear the pause as the interviewer noted down the dates of a trip I have soon \- Emailed me immediately after, asking for references. Which I had at the ready. Also sent my references a little heads up, and got very sweet confirmation and encouragement from 3/4 (no response from the 4th). I'm confident they would all speak well of me. MONDAY (2 business days later): \- 2 of my references let me know they were contacted. They said incredibly sweet things, and that the calls went well :') \- Ref#2 mentioned that I'm not afraid to ask questions, and said the interviewer seemed to like that. That confirmed my suspicion he enjoyed all my questions. She seemed pretty aligned with Ref#1 in sentiments otherwise. \- Ref#1 may have told the interviewer I was laid off. I quit voluntary, and didn't indicate otherwise in the interview. I'm not sure if that raises any alarm bells. BACKGROUND: \- I had applied to this company for the same role last year with no luck. \- Mid-level role. Same title as my previous role but significantly better pay. But I may as well be completely inexperienced instead of 3+ years, compared to how intense this company is. \- I've been unemployed for about 1.5 years now (shameful). \- I don't know if they're hiring more than 1 person. It's a fairly small department. The posting's no longer up. **UPDATE**: I got the job!
