When your team goes out for brunches do you feel comfortable asking if it could be a halal spot? I usually just make up an excuse and avoid going altogether but hearing stories about how much fun they have at these events is making me realize I need to stop refraining from them. I just don't want to be overbearing. How do the rest of you approach this?

My team is accommodating and asks about dietary restrictions. Even if it’s not halal there are non-meat options on the menu.

Yeah, I'm pretty comfortable asking. And ever since my first request, they're always mindful of making sure that it's halal. If for any reason, they couldn't wind up on a halal spot, they let me know... and I either still go and don't consume any food or pass on it. You should definitely express yourself, you'll be surprised at how accommodating most people are.

Why wouldn't you? It's on you to share your dietary restrictions and not let others guess.

Don't feel bad about sharing. It's not an issue for others and like C1 said, people love to be accommodating.

Are you comfortable having veggie/vegan options if the place isn't halal certified? I know it's not ideal but this has been my approach.

If it’s a bar social I am starting to avoid going. I haven’t been to one of those in a long time. For the lunches or dinners, I try to volunteer to choose a place that has halal options

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Something to brighten your day 🤗
I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!
