When I read your post I felt that your are talk about my feeling, as I have been through this situation many times in recent days. I'm not applying for Engineering Manager, but as software developer role. When we get rejected we feel demotivated, ashamed for not making through the interview. But I like one thing in your post is that you even got rescue quotes which is good, as we should be the one who should take measures to revive our courage to face next similar kind of situation in a much prepared way.

hiring process nowadays - especially for devs (there is a lot of competition and standards got higher and higher) - is quite tough. it's normal to be sad but don't beat yourself down. never be ashamed. maybe ask for a feedback from the recruiter/interviewer ( they tend to generally not answer or be very vague, but sometime they also provide with some valuable feedback, you never know) and try to improve what you felt went wrong. dont give up. wish you luck
