What does it take to build a successful tech career across countries, industries, and life stages? In this episode of The Business Her Way Podcast with Judi Paré, Megha Nataraj shares her journey from a small town in India to building a thriving career in software testing and quality assurance in Canada.
Megha opens up about working in the health tech space, where accuracy, structure, and strong systems matter deeply. She explains how quality assurance is much more than testing software. It is about understanding the whole system, thinking like the user, catching risks early, and helping businesses deliver products people can trust.
Judi and Megha also talk about mentorship, leadership, and how careers grow in unexpected ways. Megha shares how she began mentoring others through ADPList, helping people navigate interviews, career transitions, and the changing expectations in tech. She also talks about how startups are now reaching out to her for product advice, especially as AI continues to change how teams build and test software.
This conversation also explores Megha’s personal journey as an immigrant, her experience rebuilding her career in Canada, and why remote work has been such a gift during this season of family life. She offers thoughtful insight on avoiding burnout, staying relevant in a changing industry, and making time for the people and moments that matter most.
You’ll also hear Megha’s honest perspective on financial stability, investing, and why learning new skills is one of the best ways to create both career strength and personal freedom.
