Applied at U.S. Bank for Corporate Banking Position

I recently interviewed for a corporate banking position at U.S. Bank, and I've gone through three meetings so far. My journey started when a relative, who retired after 50 years with the company, helped me get my foot in the door. She connected me with her former boss, who assisted me in polishing my resume and finding an opening to apply for. My first interaction was a coffee meeting with the hiring manager, which I felt went well. This led to a 30-minute Zoom interview with a recruiter, who indicated she would recommend me for the position. Just this week, I had an in-person interview with the same hiring manager, where we discussed the role for about 25 minutes. She mentioned that she was busy catching up after her vacation but hoped to make a decision by the end of this week. However, I received an email last night from the recruiter asking to schedule a second round Zoom interview. This was unexpected since the hiring manager didn't mention anything about needing another interview. I’m feeling anxious and unsure if this is a good sign or if I was overlooked for the role. I really need this job, and I'm trying to figure out if I should take a time slot for the interview or reach out to the hiring manager for clarification. Any advice would be appreciated!
