Can you imagine finding prayer rooms and free halal meals at a top tech company in... Japan? What does it take to build a life of faith in the Land of the Rising Sun, a country where Muslims make up less than 0.2% of the population? 🌍
🎙️ In this eye-opening episode, we journey to Tokyo to speak with Nizam Uddin, a Data Scientist at the tech giant Rakuten. Originally from Bangladesh, Nizam shares his incredible story of landing a competitive job in Japan, choosing it over a PhD in the USA. He gives us a candid look at a side of Japan most of us have never seen: a place of surprising safety, deep honesty (wait until you hear his lost AirPod story!), and a growing, vibrant Muslim community with its own Hifz school.
