Career Big Four interview went well?

I interviewed for a tax role at EY with a Partner and a manager. Two managers involved previously worked at my current employer.

I arrived 15 minutes late due to traffic and school but notified HR beforehand. The interview seemed to go well. They asked about my start date, university schedule, and graduation plans, and explained that EY accommodates students. They said they'd get back to me soon.

For those who've interviewed with a Partner at a Big Four firm, what signs suggested your interview went well? Am I overthinking things?

asking about start date and logistics is usually a good sign, they don't waste time on candidates they're not interested in

Last time I interviewed it took 3 weeks to go from final interview to offer. The recruiting people are just slow cuz everything is standardized and done in huge intake batches.
