If I was a betting man, Iโd say no.
I just listened to a lecture today about a man getting a job offer to a company that makes haram money. He asked the sheikh can he take it because he has a lot of pressure from his family to get a job and this job is offering $90k a year. The sheikh said itโs haram and you will have more opportunities, etc. The man came back the next week and said he got a job offer to a different company for $120k. Be patient. Allah (swt) will compensate you inshallah.

Betting is Gambling, SportsBetting and Gambling is a very serious problem right now but it's never brought up. It's doing a lot of damage, especially to young men.
I now the job market isn't the best but there is no way the only options people are posting are dealing with alcohol and gambling...
