It went well. Maybe.

You can come away from an interview thinking "I wish I had said ...." or not.

In this case, not is better. Then you can relax; your fate is out of your hands. The people on the other side of the table have a list and as you talked, they were checking off boxes on that list. Maybe their check marks are in your favor, maybe not. But if you said what you wanted to say -- no regrets -- then it's almost immaterial whether they put their checkmarks in the "good" or "bad" boxes; you did what you wanted to do, and it's up to them to decide that's what they wanted too.

Almost immaterial. But you do want to be invited back for the second round.

At least, I do ....

Besides, I actually did like talking with them.
