A University of Ghana (UG) final-year student’s request for a staggering GHS 50,000 monthly salary to work as a full-stack developer for a tech company has sparked reactions on social media.
The discussion ensued after screenshots of WhatsApp conversations between the applicant and the employers were shared by @CheEsquire on X (formerly Twitter).
The screenshots revealed the student’s confirmation of the salary demand upon inquiry by the employers.
However, the employers, unable to meet the exorbitant demand, promptly bid farewell to the student and indicated they would consider other applicants for the position.
Initially proposing GHS 50,000, the student eventually lowered the figure to GHS 20,000, stating, “if this also gets me off the list, that is fine.”
The student’s posture has garnered mixed reactions, with others appreciating him knowing his worth, while others have slammed him for missing a good opportunity to land a job when he is yet to graduate from the university.
