Just heard back post-onsite. All of the feedback I was getting during each session was amazing, everyone said I would be a great fit, and I thought I knocked it out of the park but then apparently they didn’t think I was a good fit. However, another team is supposedly super interested in me and I’ll be getting a call soon regarding that process.
Currently just feeling super dead and defeated inside. I put my absolute best foot forward and had the best interview of my life and I'm not sure how much energy I have to go through everything again and get hit back again.
Advice for getting my head back in the game appreciated

Go burn off some energy, don’t take anything a recruiter says super seriously.
For technical interview, your own perception of your performance should not be completely out of whack. Ask yourself this:
- did you solve all the problem?
- did you provide the optimal solution?
- did you struggle at all?
- did you handle all edge cases?
- did you communicate your thoughts with the interviewer?
It shouldn't be like you thought you nailed it and they think you failed the interview. Time for introspection.
Is this for a technical role?
For me, I needed to show up again for 3 more interviews. All you have to do is continue to knock the future interviews out of the park like you already have been, and you'll get an offer. You'll need another company's offer to use as leverage in the meantime, or the recruiter will just move super slowly (so they can get you cheap). Good luck!
