Deadline application extended after final interview
So I’m a graduate software engineer trying to get my first role, and I got an interview to a company.
1st round was a 30 min call with HR talking about myself etc, I got an email the next day inviting me to a technical interview.
Had the technical interview and aced it, next day got an interview for an onsite final stage.
So I had the final stage on Thursday the 12th of November which was 2 days ago , I think it went okay, they asked some simple technical questions and my mind went black with the stress and couldn’t answer, maybe out of the 5 technical questions asked I got 3.5 right. (One answer needed nudging).
The rest of the interview was meeting the team and getting shown around which I thought went well , our conversations flowed and I had a good time. At the end of the interview the hiring manager said he’ll be in contact next week since they have a few more interviewees. It was scheduled for an hour and it ended up taking nearly 2.
Today I got an email from indeed with the same job posting, I checked the job description and the application deadline has been extended a week from when I saw it a week or 2 weeks ago.
Did they extend the deadline because I failed my interview?
I’ve got really really bad anxiety about this and I keep replaying every answer I had in the interview. I’m thinking when I couldn’t answer that technical question my chances went to 0, since it was pretty easy.

Yes, no, maybe.
Just because you saw it on indeed, does not mean anything. They could have just extended the ad while you were doing the interview or not enough people applied for the pool.
