I was genuinely glad I didn't get those offers as it would be awkward turning them down. As an example, in one of the cases they were looking for someone who could do a lot more frontend/product work (something I don't have much experience in) so even if I did join, I wouldn't do well. That would suck both for me and the company.

(yes, it is a bit of cope - but hey, it's only through interviewing/learning more that you find bad fits)
