So I had an interview earlier. It was for a Software Engineer position. The interviewer asked me some questions which I was good at. Then he started asking me Solution Architect related questions, asked if I was TOGAF certified (I’m not). He kept asking me SA questions which I have a decent understanding of but not a pro. I told him that I’m not a SA nor a position I have a good experience in. He goes to tell me how software engineering overlaps with SA and I can work bottom to top. I kept listening then he started asking me technical questions related to SA I got annoyed and pretty much said - I think the role you posted and the role you want are completely different and I walked out. They have my resume. Could it ruin my chances of finding another job? I’m paranoid now.
