Engineering & Tech Jobs in Pakistan

The recent press coverage of Pakistan in the western business press, particularly the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times, has been fairly positive.

The sectors mentioned include telecom, automobiles, energy, real estate and consumer products as being the drivers. How do you NEDians in Pakistan see the ground reality? Has this growth created more jobs for NEDians? How do you see the prospects realistically? Let's hear both the positives and the negatives.
