She's absolutely killing it with both her technical and communication skills. Could see Mooroo's face amazed and proud quite a few times and that's exactly how I felt. Didn't know we have such an open-minded, hard working, ambitious, and candid women in Pakistan. Way to go!👏
mathematics is haunting me in this field i am not good at it ? i am confused which path should i go toward data engineering or IOS development any suggestions for me mate ?
What this girl has achieved is what should be shown to inspire our youth on morning shows and in our entertainment industry like movies and dramas. Our youth has potential but lacks the motivation due to the surrounding negativity. Wish we could learn more and more from such kids.
Such a motivational, humble , ethical lady talking so naively rather then intruding herself in critizing others, blaming others as most of the people done in their interviews, Allah bless you with more, Ma sha Allah.
In these times people who are illiterate are not the ones who can't read or write, actually they are those who can't learn, unlearn and then relearn ...👌👌
Masha Allah... She was my junior at punjab college.. and she was a famous at that time also. Like in teachers and education prospective. Always teacher give us an example of her.. proud of you girl ❤️
Would you mind if I ask how many other Engineers from PUCIT you yourself managed to crack interviews at MANG? Also do tell how important University is to a Student in the field of CS?

@samreenbutt nop. She did ics. But i was a student of pre medical that time. She did ics and she got a position at punjab board. Then she studied at PU in cs
This is the best podcast i've seen so far. It is on the internet forever and will inspire soo many people. We need such awareness because If Pakistan makes IT its forte it will solve all the economic problems. Thankyou soo much Shafiqa and moroo.
Masha'a Allah..feeling proud to see her at such an inspirational level...May she keep on shining..and spread her light of guidance to other youngsters...Aameen
She’s intelligent, well spoken and gave solid advice. Keep at it Shafiqa. Kudos to Moroo for another great podcast, for asking intelligent questions and for letting the guests speak.
If you can dream it you can have it. The main flaw in our society is that we don't believe in our dreams, in ourselves, and on top of that we dont have a support circle, infact people are always ready to bring you down. Shafiqa is an example of a person swimming against the tide and giving zero f's about what others say. Believe in yourself, let your work make the noise. So happy to see her grow. Mooro you are love for bringing such inspiring pods to us!
Am from RYK(Rahim Yar Khan), When i watched her video with junaid bhai shear it with my university friend's. Best wishes to Shafiqa Iqbal who belongs to Sadiqabad.
I don`t know why I can`t stop my tears watching her. This is super motivational for me. every time I watch her videos something ignites me from inside to work harder May all the hard workings in the right path succeed. love her 💕
Podcasts like these should be more and more valued and this content should gain more and more views so creators like you may bring content like these more often so that our youth and the upcoming generation may have more sincere vision towards the betterment of this country and their life
Well explained. People usually choose computer science because isme paisa boht hai. They take it like other degrees. But it's actually a degree where you really have to learn a lot on your own. I remember during my FYP viva my supervisor didn't know about the firebase database. Because they don't teach you tools, they teach you how to design things. More than half of people chose CS just because they think they will start making money after they graduate. but that doesn't happen if you don't learn the skills on your own.
Kafi comments parhy han .jo ky negative thy.

thumbs up for the quality content creators like mooroo,ganjis swag (Junaid Akram), TBT, etc. these are the people who gave us the opportunity to have worldwide exposure at home.
Although I had already watched Junaid's vlog, this podcast was more interactive and soulful. In my observation gen-z's brains are getting more trained and I feel that excellency in her intellectual reflection. Btw apart from her passion, you didn't asked about her eq area.
Being software engineer just want to listen for few minutes. But the conversation was so casually meaningful and interesting. Enjoyed this podcast. Like the simplistic style of shafiqa. Kudos to mooro for well prepared and to the point podcast. Godspeed girl 🙌🏻
Amazing..., very humble lady. she didn't forget her past life even though she got a Google job. Very beautiful words "Alhamdullah" and "Allah rasty bnata hai" and in the last "people should have struggle instead they attracting for getting fame" 👌👌
We need such shining stars to be highlighted more and more so others can take inspiration and strive to achieve. In a country like Pakistan, it is of utmost importance. Impossible is nothing. Well done Shafiqa and being a role model.
When I watched this podcast what I had in mind that this video will guide students of IT/CS/Software background about new technologies being introduced, what frameworks to explore to keep up with the advancing worldwide IT industry and giving some direction to CS/Software students (believe me 70% of CS/Software students are direction less). But it's alright knowing taimor not having CS background. It is a fact that shafiqa is such a busy person but in my humble opinion she should do a video with someone having CS background and thus targeting the IT students of Pakistan.
Thanks for doing this Shafiqa. One of the things you said were that you didn't have a role model growing up in the stem fields. I am happy to say that today you are a role model for the next generation.
Bro such a Amazing podcast kitna valuable Question pucha ja raha jo tech or non tech student ko be samj a raha and one amazing thing that she knows ka best tarika kiya hai Ans deliver karna ka stay blessed yar
I have watched junaid bhai video with her and Insta pr be follow kya tha..But for some reason she blocked me when I ask to gave me a roadmap of what should I do while stilll in 1 year at uni so when I graduate,I can be somewhere big.Anyway I always respect and admire her.I have learn lots of things even in this video from her. Respect 👍
very healthy and insightful discussion loved every bit of it.. liked the work culture and team work at google,, she is really achiever and very aggressive in achieving her desired objectives has learnt few things from her..especially hunger rigorous strategy she used in applying since her early career started from getting education and than at time of university working as freelance and expanding in team of five then landed at google.. all her story implies success comes to those who has hunger for it.. thanks shafiqa and mooro for such knowledgeable podcast

Google has the best work culture because good companies believe on the notion " Productivity comes from mental and physical well-being of an employee" . That's what we learnt in organizational psychology. Infact they have in-house psychologist to manage all this . But in Pakistan , there are very less companies who cares about the well-being of employees. This girl is really really impressive.
truly inspirational for both men and women.❤Also seems like a very humble person having a good personality and character overall, Indeed an asset of Pakistan, I personally am stuck in the University policies and our system in the field of CS but trying to overcome it everyday and people like these inspire alot, we need more indeed.❤❤❤

Pakistanies are gem in IT when they start learning it. In India we take great advantage from their teaching. Pakistani youth should follow them.
She just brings life to it all. So energetic, optimistic and the carefree smile.

This is the content that our youth should be consuming everyday instead of the crap we consume. This is great !
I am Pakistani and learning java for 2 years, I also want a job at google, Shafiqa motivates me a lot.
From where you learn java
@Abdullah Khan why
Java is a good language but you have to learn atleast 2-3 languages
like python, java, Javascript
@@BOSS-AI-20I learn all these languages and also got certificates recently
Keep learning java for 2 , 3 years more then finally you will get a job,
Pakistani peoples are living in 1975
in this modern technology.
