I interviewed for a role, quite new for me, had neighbouring roles before.I had a presentation for the head. A recruiter got back to me, saying they did receive a positive feedback from the him but - question #17977

they are not sure if it's a perfect fit and suggested another role for me to have a look. I accepted the interview with the hiring manager for that one, I guess a person that is still under the head, and he questioned me for more than an hour and told me he would need at least a week or week and a half and told me about next steps. Just 5 days later, including a weekend, they informed me that they went for another candidate as they weren't 100% sure if my skills and expectations completely align with what the job offers and requires. Why was I rejected sooner than anticipated? Did he not like me? Am I completely out for the first role I was more interested in? Thank you.
