Accounting. When stuff needs to be done, it needs to be done pronto. Otherwise the financial system (Or atleast my area) is in jeopardy of not being balanced.
p.s. I get paid monthly, so no overtime pay I have this job for the experience so I dont care about the pay...

Hopefully, it is enough to warrant the hours!!! I couldnt imagine doing that, spending so much time at work, it becomes your second home and eventually your life.

Well the work varies widely and I get tons of experience. So it's not suffocating. Since it's also a muslim company I get time of for Salah etc...

My old job was much more suffocating. Very low pay with long hours...needless to say I got out of there quick

At least it is a muslim company so you can fraternize and relate to your coworkers, unless they are a bunch of jerks.

The administration is all Muslim. Most of my coworkers are non Muslim. Out of 60 people about 8-10 are Muslim. There's even a Prayer room though hehe.
