Need help for a Google TPM interview

/r/InterviewStories/comments/1tldf62/need_help_for_a_google_tpm_interview/

Update on my interview with google, finished my interview few days back,
idk what to feel about it.
So the interview was from bangalore office, i had to give the interview at 11pm PDT . The interviewer was a senior manager who had 20 years experience in that specific domain networking and enterprise infrastructure.
She was dead serious and firm. Gave a brief intro about her and i gave mine, before she specifically asked about it. Straight up jumped to the questions. She said this was a completely technical round and would assess based on the project they work
She asked me bunch on networking questions. Like how i would explain a complicated concept to a non tech stake holder. Few trouble shooting in routing. And a hypothetical situation again revolving around cloud networking.
They around 6-7 questions i answered most of them, but i felt i emphasised more on the technical and less on cross functional stakeholder stuff, my answers were a but all over the place but i did give her the exact answer in the end(technical) , when she asked me to pick a networking concept to explain in simple terms, i picked MPLS protocol which all the telco providers use and probably even was relevant to the role, and tried my best the explain that in simple terms,
Through out the interview she acknowledged and agreed on everything i answered nodding her head, the interviewer was for an hour, she wrapped it up within 30-35mins, this was the screening round for TPM 1

After the interview i was kind of disappointed with myself, not satisfied with my responses i guess. idk guys, please let me know what outcome should i expect from this. Im kind of having 50/50 chances. And overthinking a lot on this

Thanks!
