Question:
This questioner says: I am an engineer in a disbeliever's land, and I want to migrate to a Muslim land. I found a job in a Muslim land, but it is in one of the banks. Should I accept this job until I find something better?
Answer:
No, there are many jobs, and all praise is due to Allah.[At-Talaq 65:2-3] You will find, if Allah wills, an honest job. Yes.

Answer:
No, there are many jobs, and all praise is due to Allah.
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ
