What if the key to landing a job at Google wasn't a perfect resume, but a powerful prayer? What if a 20-year wait for immigration became the catalyst for a journey you never planned? And what if the secret to career success lies not in staying comfortable, but in bravely stepping out of your comfort zone? 🇵🇰➡️🇺🇸

🎙️ In this deeply moving and insightful episode, we sit down with Muhammad Simak, a 26-year-old Analytical Lead at Google. He shares his incredible journey from a middle-class family in Karachi, Pakistan, to the tech hubs of Chicago, a path paved by his parents' immense sacrifice and a 20-year immigration process. Simak candidly discusses the challenges of moving to a new country and how his wife’s encouragement pushed him to aim for the world’s top companies, even without a "fancy" degree or extensive experience.

Simak may have a hectic schedule, but he's always open to assisting and offering his support to the community! 👉 Here's where you can reach him!
