Career Coaching Podcast Irene Madrid

"I can be a good mom and work on my career at the same time"



In this 3rd episode of the Career Coaching Podcast, I sit with Madiha Goheer, Software Engineer at Linkedin.



She transitioned from being a professional make-up artist to a Software engineer.

On top of being a devoted mother of two, she is an accomplished professional eager to offer valuable insights on breaking into the tech industry.



Her willingness to not give up and perseverance made her land her dream job at one of the largest technology corporations.

As she wisely states: "If you don't see a clear path for what you want, sometimes you have to make it yourself."
