+# SEB - Data Architect
+
+## 📋 Overview
+**Job URL**: 
+**Broker**: (Check with Henrik)
+**Contact Person**: 
+**Applied**: December 2024
+**Interview**: Completed - did not go well
+**Status**: Waiting for final response
+
+## 🎯 Position Match Analysis
+### Requirements Match
+- **Technical Skills**: 8/10 - Strong database and architecture background
+- **Domain Knowledge**: 7/10 - Financial services experience
+- **Modern Data Terminology**: 4/10 - **This was the problem**
+- **Overall Fit**: 6/10
+
+### Key Requirements
+- [x] Database architecture expertise
+- [x] Financial services experience
+- [ ] Data Mesh understanding - **weak articulation**
+- [ ] Data Governance knowledge - **conceptual only**
+- [ ] Data Mart design - **not well communicated**
+
+### My Strengths for This Role
+1. 25+ years SQL Server expertise
+2. Financial services domain (TCM, AbaSec)
+3. Azure cloud architecture
+4. Integration architecture
+
+### Gaps That Hurt Me
+- **Terminology gap**: Understood concepts but couldn't articulate in modern "data architect lingo"
+- **Data Mesh**: Knew the concepts but couldn't discuss fluently
+- **Preparation**: Should have studied terminology more before interview
+
+## 💭 Interview Reflection
+
+### What Went Wrong
+- Struggled to articulate experience using modern data architecture terminology
+- Data Mesh, Data Governance concepts - I understand them but couldn't speak the language
+- Interviewer probably thought I lacked current knowledge
+- Should have prepared more on translating my experience to their vocabulary
+
+### What I Learned
+- **Critical lesson**: Technical ability ≠ Interview ability
+- Need to **study terminology** for data architect positions
+- My experience is relevant - I just need to **translate it**
+- Should have reviewed: Data Mesh, Data Fabric, Data Catalog, Data Governance frameworks
+
+### If I Could Do It Again
+1. Study modern data architecture terminology for 1-2 weeks
+2. Practice translating my projects into Data Mesh concepts
+3. Prepare examples of data governance from TCM work
+4. Map my AbasecGateway work to modern patterns
+
+## 🎓 Action Items for Future Similar Roles
+- [ ] Complete Data Mesh learning module
+- [ ] Study Data Governance frameworks
+- [ ] Create translation guide: My experience → Modern terms
+- [ ] Practice interview answers with new terminology
+- [ ] Create "SEB post-mortem learning note"

+# Svenska Kraftnät - .NET Developer
+
+## 📋 Overview
+**Job URL**: 
+**Broker**: 
+**Contact Person**: 
+**Applied**: Recently (early January 2025)
+**Status**: Waiting for response
+
+## 🎯 Position Match Analysis
+### Requirements Match
+- **Backend .NET**: 10/10 - Perfect fit
+- **SQL Server**: 10/10 - Perfect fit
+- **Azure**: 10/10 - Strong experience
+- **ReactJS**: 3/10 - **Only gap**
+- **Overall Fit**: 9/10 - Nearly perfect
+
+### Key Requirements
+- [x] .NET development - **Expert**
+- [x] SQL Server - **25+ years**
+- [x] Azure cloud - **Strong**
+- [x] Backend architecture - **Strong**
+- [ ] ReactJS - **Gap: We used Angular, not much UI work**
+
+### My Strengths for This Role
+1. **Perfect backend match**: .NET, SQL Server, Azure are my core
+2. **Architecture experience**: Microservices, Clean Architecture
+3. **Full pipeline experience**: CI/CD, DevOps
+4. **Senior level**: Can lead and mentor
+
+### The React Gap
+- **Reality**: Haven't worked with React specifically
+- **Related**: Have Angular experience from Tieto
+- **UI work**: Limited - more backend focused
+- **Mitigation**: Fast learner, modern frameworks share concepts
+- **Plan**: Start React learning immediately
+
+## 🎓 Preparation Plan
+
+### React Learning Path
+- [ ] Complete React fundamentals course (Udemy/Pluralsight)
+- [ ] Build small React app with .NET backend
+- [ ] Study React + .NET Web API integration
+- [ ] Prepare to discuss: "I haven't used React in production but have Angular experience and am actively learning React"
+
+### Interview Preparation
+- [ ] Prepare backend architecture examples
+- [ ] SQL Server optimization war stories
+- [ ] Azure architecture decisions
+- [ ] Team collaboration examples
+- [ ] Address React gap honestly but positively
+
+## 💬 React Gap Talking Points
+
+**Honest approach**:
+"I haven't worked with React in production. At Tieto we used Angular for our frontend work, though my primary focus was backend architecture. I understand React's component model and have started learning it because I see it's the industry standard. My strength is backend .NET and SQL Server, which is 90% of this role, and I'm confident I can pick up React quickly given my Angular background and general frontend understanding."
