Thoughts on this interview follow-up email?

Hi,

Just had a later round case study (2 weeks) at a HF. I sent a follow-up shortly after, and he replied saying he thanks me for my time/effort. I want to reply "no problem, you would be a good person to work for, so I spent a good amount of effort into the pitch". I really do mean this, but can it come off as desperate/tacky?

I wouldnt say that for sure. Definitely dont say "no problem" too casual, and you really dont know if theyre good to work with or not so it comes of as not very genuine. I would leave it at that you dont have to reply to his thank you
