I recently had a panel interview for a position, and I’m trying to understand how I should interpret what happened.

Interestingly, it didn’t feel like a typical interview. Instead, it was more of a discussion between me, the department head, and the supervisor.
During the discussion, the department head mentioned that she had some reservations about my background because my previous experience isn't exactly the same as what the role requires. She also brought up the possibility that I might feel overwhelmed with the transition.
The supervisor, however, seemed more reassuring and mentioned that my current experience could actually be quite challenging compared to the new role. They also explained that there would be around 6 months of training if I were selected.
They told me that they liked my personality and the way I presented myself, but also mentioned that they wanted to interview other candidates since I was the first candidate they interviewed.
When they brought up the concern about my background, I acknowledged that my experience may not be a perfect match, but I explained that I also started my career without much experience and was able to progress from Associate to Assistant Manager and eventually became Employee of the Year.
I also mentioned some of the skills I've developed throughout my career, such as handling calls, payment-related tasks, dealing with different types of clients, and managing challenging situations. I said that I believe these skills can be transferred to the new role while I learn the areas that are new to me.
It's now been 48 hours since the interview, and I haven't received any feedback yet.
I understand that they still have other candidates to interview, but I'm curious how others would interpret this interaction.
Does this sound like a positive sign, or does it sound like they still have significant concerns about my fit for the role?
I'd especially appreciate insights from people who have been on the hiring side or have experienced a similar type of interview.

Hi guys! I have multiple SIPs kay BPI with a total OB of 600k including unbilled installments. My monthly installment is almost 16k . Recently, hindi ko na kaya yung monthly so I tried to ask for restructuring. Ang inoffer lang is 14k monthly for 48 months which is hindi pa din kaya kasi as of now ang kaya ko lang maisettle na is 8-10K monthly. Wala na daw sila ibang kaya ioffer. Ano kaya ang magandang approach? Hulugan ko pa din ng 8-10k monthly which is above MAD or let it OD and wait for amnesty? Natatakot lang kasi ako dahil sa mga nababasa ko dito, nagfafile ng small claims si BPI tapos payroll account ko pa sya 🥹
