A no from one team tells you about their roster, not your ceiling.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

A rejection carries far less information about you than it seems to. Decisions like that get made out of needs you cannot see: what they already have, what they can afford, who they spoke to first, what somebody in the room happened to prefer. You receive one word and then fill in the reasons yourself, usually with the harshest ones available. The word itself contains none of them.

Ask for one specific piece of feedback if it is offered, and take only that. Then try somewhere else within the week, while the momentum is still warm.
