    Last month I left my software engineer position due to this reason. The frustrating situation is you can't control but guess what. My dua was accepted and I could easily shift my job to another which is much better than the previous one. Just have a good intention and sincerely ask Allah swt, He will make a way out of it.

      Was the recruiter Muslim? If not, it’s not appropriate to give them salam. It doesn’t make sense to interact with non-Muslims the same way you would with Muslims to begin with. If you really want to test them, tell them you’re Muslim after you get the offer or maybe even during the interview and explain to them your needs like prayer, not shaking hands with non-mahram, fasting, etc. so I don’t agree your approach even though I get your idea. May Allah reward you.

Maybe some day Allah change their heart, but if we follow other's behavior like hi wearing western clothes talk them the way they do with slangs inappropriate words etc then how other will inspire from us and how we differentiate us from others? Why will i tell that i am muslim, My profile should speak for my self, I will write Praise on Allah before any description, i will give credit to Allah for all my abilities, my life and death and all other aspect should represent that i belong to Islam because there is no other most beautiful thing in this world.

      I always make my needs for salah and anything else known AFTER I get a job offer and BEFORE I accept it. This is what works.
      Bringing it up before is just unnecessary in most cases and will put you at a huge disadvantage. And giving salam to non-Muslim recruiters is just silly and almost rubbing it in their face, not to mention impermissible.
      They will reject you for this regardless of “equality laws”. Don’t be surprised if you can’t find a job by acting like this.

    For the third principle, it's similar to producing a knife-let's say a universal knife. Its purpose is to cut or break things, which is inherently neutral. However, if someone buys that knife to kill or harm innocent people, why should we be blamed? Should producing knives be banned because of misuse? The same logic applies to open-source projects or even private projects. If your project includes neutral features, you shouldn’t have to worry about being held accountable or punished for how others misuse it.
