One of the biggest misconceptions in tech?
Getting the job is the destination.
For Shaista, being in the industry was only the beginning. Real growth started when she questioned whether she was learning enough to keep up with where the industry was heading.
Sometimes the next step isn’t changing your role.
It’s changing how you approach growth.
“Before joining CodeGirls, I was already working in Manual QA, but I knew I wasn’t growing the way I wanted to. As automation became more important in the industry, I realized experience alone wasn’t enough—I needed to strengthen my technical skills.
Through CodeGirls, I gained structured, hands-on learning and practical exposure to tools like Selenium and Postman that helped me connect concepts with real-world application.
Today, I approach quality assurance with a broader perspective and greater confidence. This journey reminded me that growth in tech starts when you continue learning beyond your current role.”
