When Norah graduated from college with Computer Science degree from King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, women were not welcome to apply for engineering jobs. Those jobs were limited to men and foreigners at that time in Saudi Arabia. Norah searched for a tech job for over a year but then decided to take a job outside of the tech industry. The job she got had nothing to do with her degree. However, she was grateful for that first job because it taught her many soft skills she now uses as a Senior PM at Microsoft.
