(MUSLIM SKEPTIC) Those first months after graduation were a stressful struggle between my values and career choices.
It wasn’t until a year had passed that I decided to let go.
I realized I was mainly pressured by that job title on LinkedIn, and all that that entails. After all, as a Muslim female, I had the right to be provided for, and I owed nothing to the world. There was no need for the rush.
This isn’t an argument against making money, but rather against prioritizing titles. So long as titles are not pursued, you have a wider pool of career choices that are more aligned with Islamic regulations (e.g., gender separation).
