Managing Directors Each Replied to Post-Interview My Thank You Email: Good Sign or Bad?

Recently had interview with two MDs at target company - interview went somewhat well and I sent my thank you to each of them an hour or so after.

They both responded "nice to meet you, etc." and am wondering if this is a good or bad sign?

Well it isn’t a bad sign (how would that work?). But if I were you, I wouldn’t read into it and enjoy your Sunday. I reply to many candidates, if they take the time to reach out, I want to make the same effort back, but it doesn’t mean they are getting an offer. So at worst case no relationship, best case it’s good, now stop worrying because you can’t change it.
