The anxiety is eating me alive

Been interviewing for my dream job for the last two months that I got through an internal referral. I busted my ass for each round, studying a lot. In fact in one round, they booked my next interview on the zoom call because I had done so well. They even said they wanted to use some stuff in my assignment going forward and loved the way I thought about the problem.

Had the final interview yesterday with the CEO and got an email last night saying they wanted to make an offer - contingent on references. I emailed them back late last night with references and answers to other questions (salary expectations and start date).

I made a small mistake in my email in one of the sentences I wrote and it’s eating me alive. I doubt they will care or even notice, because I definitely wouldn’t. This is somehow the most stressful part each time - getting that contract and signature.

I am not restarting the process over a typo.

I would kill to be in your position right now. Mess up or not in an email. It happens. We all send wrong emails or mess up even with customers or internally. You got the offer call. My anxiety would drop SO much if this happened to me today or next week as I wait their decision for a really good role that I want.

Can you tell us what you wrote that you’re so anxious about ?

I feel your pain. I sent a thank you email to a recruiter I interviewed with yesterday.

At the end of the email my phone auto corrected a word to the incorrect tense. "I want to reiterate my interested and excitement for the potential opportunity" - obviously I meant to say interest. Not interested.
