Still looking for a new job (continued)

5. Material Support Service Representative (external, MNC, unsuccessful*)

* Attended the virtual video interview, the f2f session with the MNC's head for Malaysia, and the online session with the team manager in Spain between November and January. Nil update on the jobs portal, it's still showing "Under Review" as of today. Sent an email for status request to the HR Manager, e-mail bounced. I later learnt via Linkedin that she had left the org in December 2022.
Spoke with some people with experience there, they said they'd always let you know if you had been accepted/rejected, but in my case, since the status is still not updated after 2 months, I take it upon myself that I've been rejected. No problem. Just wish I'd known sooner so that I could quickly move on to the next job applications.

So yesterday, the hiring manager e-mailed me again. Confirmed -- they decided to move forward with another candidate.

However, the hiring manager asked if I was interested in another "newly raised position" which he thought I would fit in. And if I was interested, he'd arrange the meeting to discuss.

Took me 2 hours to process this but of course I then replied to let him know that I was interested and would like him to proceed to arrange the meeting.

But that was yesterday. It's been more than 24 hours and he hasn't yet replied with the arrangement details. Now I'm starting to wonder if I did something. Did I write properly that I was interested? Was my language too bad for him to comprehend? Did I take too long to reply? Worse, did the email even get delivered?

Gosh, the anxiety is gnawing at my insides.
