Need some insight on my interview (recap)

So I had an interview with a small advisory firm. It lasted about an hour and ten minutes, the last 20 covered my questions. Rapport was good (he even dropped an expletive or two - in jest). I provided a valuation that he said was similar to what they did there. He even mentioned that another position would open up so not to worry if I didn't land this opportunity. At the end he said he thought he had a good understanding of why I was career switching, and that there were no other questions that he had.

He asked basic things about me, but did not ask about references or any technical questions. What do you guys think?

Could be good, could be bad - no way to tell for sure even if you were there (and people on WSO definitely won't be able to ascertain with confidence based on info known). Hardest part, but you'll just have to wait and see.
