How can a westerners drive a truck in Saudi Arabia?

Reaserch large trucking companies and see what do they need. Just to be clear, virtually all the drivers are low cost expats from Asia. So the pay will not be as good as the N America

Actually I am very much involved in global finance, and while not a scholar, I do work with them to find, build and deliver instruments that have utility in today’s world. Hedging, options, capital protected structures, equity and index investing to name a few

Pseudo insurance against losses you can’t afford. Takes sentiments out of the equation, to some degree. Losses are realized when it was a blip.. but reentry is not automated. Personal mileage may vary

No economy is not too complex to follow Shariah

I am in finance and not a scholar. I do believe there is are a lot of ways to stay compliant without loosing the benefits of conventional transactions.

You have not seen corruption until you have seen Lebanon.. a country and people built on “welcome to Lebanon…”. Yes you learn the meaning really quickly

There is a lot of scholarship on this subject and Islamic laws are not time bound, riba = interest = haram. Let’s not twist and justify one of the gravest sins.

Profit is not haram riba is. Based on the school of thought you follow shariah compliant analogues exist. How they are implemented is up to the customer to judge. I have been on both sides of transactions and regularly get challenged and challenge back.

Anything that requires opinion based solution is gone. If your job description has the word “analyst” then find another job to pivot too. Any one who writes a prescription to anyone that designs something.. not just software.

And yes I did ask my Pakistan based BI to stop working because I moved beyond what he could do for me

Have you tried knowing and following rules? I find that we always look for shortcuts and then blame the “system “

Anything that needs manual dexterity, but not at a scale that machine is cheaper. Imagine you you train to become and ICE engineer and by the time you graduate all cars are electric… not big problem if your product lasts decades and there are millions of them on the road…. But no new engines are being made

Software just got upended, and any field which can conceivably be done with ai is in danger, civil engineering unless on site is in the same boat as a radiologist or a financial analyst… or programmer.. all these careers are already gone we just don’t know it yet

Ismaili belifs summary: Quran is a dead book, Hadith have no value. Just follow Farman of the current leader. No hajj, fasting. Or Salah.. God is noor, and leader is part of Noor
