Been there in the same situation for the "You were great! 100% perfect! But there was someone who was 110% - sorry & good luck!" more than once, both at the very start of my career as a new grad and as an experienced hire. It sucks and it is a blow, and it is emotionally quite draining. Try to stick in there - for me things all worked out in the end, and I hope they will for you too. I try to live my life by the maxim of "you never know what is going to happen" and it cuts both ways, but there are times when something amazing just comes out of nowhere. Good luck.
