aw damn. i don't have the swedish proficiency. or the swedish law proficiency. but every job i've had has been waist deep in confidentiality and a few they've used me as the liaison between IT and legal. And civil law isn't that tricky to pick up once you've got a basic background, and I'm only 7 generations out of Sweden, and... aw i'm too old to start learning that many new tricks in time for a job interview.

In most companies in Sweden it is fine to speak English. In a company that develops an app I would even assume that everything is in English except for the legal stuff.

yeah, in order to communicate between legal and anyone i'd need to be level 5 proficient (fluent, indistinguishable from native. sorry, using interpreter certification levels because it's what i know) in swedish and i can only order food and find out where the bathroom is right now. i'm not even level 1. no fucking way i can get up to level 5 in time for a job interview, that'd take at least 3 years of total immersion and working at a law firm.
