Thinking about a career in software? Feeling a bit lost with all the advice out there? Let's talk it through.


I'm not a 10-year industry veteran, and that's my strength. My experience as a software engineer is recent, relevant, and directly applicable to the challenges you're facing right now in today's tech market.


I did just navigate the path you're on. I know what it takes to go from student to a top remote-first company. This call is a focused, open conversation to get your questions answered with an honest, practical perspective.


Who this is for:

  1. University students (1st to final year) exploring a career in software.
  2. Recent graduates trying to find their footing in the tech industry.
  3. Anyone feeling overwhelmed and looking for a clear, simple direction on what to focus on next.


What we can talk about:

  1. Choosing a tech stack and a learning path (Frontend, Backend, etc.).
  2. How to build side projects that actually get noticed by recruiters.
  3. Crafting a LinkedIn profile that tells your story and attracts opportunities.
  4. My experience working in different environments (part-time, startups, large tech).
  5. The reality of your first software engineering job vs. university expectations.
  6. General advice on building an online presence and networking authentically.


What I can't help with:

  1. A guaranteed job or referral. My goal is to empower you, not to be a shortcut.
  2. Deep dives into highly advanced topics (e.g., advanced distributed systems, PhD-level ML).
  3. Financial advice or specific salary negotiations.


Session Fees (Please Read Carefully):

I started these sessions for free, but as more and more people have booked, I want to make sure I can give you my full attention. So I've added a small fee. Charging a small fee helps me keep these slots available and ensures we're both committed to making our time super valuable.

  1. Session Fee: PKR 1500
  2. Payment Details: After scheduling your call, payment details will be shared via email.
  3. Confirming Your Slot: To confirm your booking, payment must be completed within 48 hours. After that, the unconfirmed slot will be made available for others.


Rescheduling & No-Show Policy

Our time is mutually respected.

  1. If I need to reschedule, you will be offered the choice of a full refund or booking a new time that works for you.
  2. If you need to reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice.
  3. No-shows will not be eligible for a refund.
