Working for a company that accepts the bank's interest

Q: I have a question regarding my job. I work in a technical firm as an engineer and my company pays me a monthly salary. My company take projects from clients and after completion of projects the client pays money to company, company puts that money in the bank and then our salary comes. Although i am not sure that either company takes interest from the bank or not, but i know that in my country Pakistan, every other company does that so there is a very high possibility that my company also takes interest from bank. So now our salary comes from (Client's money + Bank interest). So what is the Islamic ruling on this issue.

Employment involving the sale or handling of haraam items

Q: It seems that most jobs I’m qualified for are somehow indirectly related to the sale of haram items. I’ve seen Muslims working at these places, so I was wondering if I’m just overthinking about these things. The job I was thinking of getting is a stocking job where I may have to put haram products on the shelves of the stores. Is it haram for me to work at such a job?
