salaam alaikum,

jihaad are of many types. one jihad is to bring Islamic rule so that there is no oppression, injustice, rape, murder, crime, etc.

another jihad is against shaitan and lower self to obey Allah and control our desires like praying fajr, not drinking, not having girlfriend, etc.

yes, Allah says that we should not hurt ourselves but He also says that we will be tested. almost all of us have problems. Allah did not make this life "bed of roses". it is jannah to enjoy and have fun 100%. (may Allah make us of those who will enter it)

eg. we should not cut our finger intentionally but sometime Allah might make us cut it accidentally to test us that whether we'll have patience or not.

so keep doing ur job brother. also make dua to Allah for an easy life and if possible look for another job.

Bro- it's like this.
Harming yourself like smoking, cutting yourself, etc- has no good coming out it- right?
But jihad, and work, something good comes out of it- and THAT makes the body stronger both pyhsically, mentally, emotionaly, etc.

Hope this helps.
Salam!!!
