I am currently interviewing at TikTok for the Content Partnerships Lead role. Can anyone share some insight into the salary bands in the Sub-Saharan African market? Should I benchmark with the global rates?
Any tips and experiences interviewing in this region are also welcome - and highly appreciated! :)

I personally love it. I think the world would be a better place if more celebrities used their platforms to talk about important causes. It is a shame to hear a contract was cancelled because of that.

What if it was for something you found highly offensive would you feel the same way?
I'm an American who respects free speech before I'm a marketing person, so I'm fine with celebrities talking about whatever their cause might be. People can choose to be interested, or perhaps inspired, or they're free to mock and ridicule it. Inviting someone to an event, and then trying to muzzle them on the red carpet would be ridiculous. If the celebrity had a contract for sponsorship, and their cause was something offensive that caused their contract to be canceled, I'd be fine with that. It's just how things work.
So far, I found your opinion to be the most realistic one. It's up to celebs to know what they should or shouldn't do, and take consequences of their behavior. Most of them are very aware of all these boundaries.
Like anyone I'm free to talk about my "causes" but that might mean others don't want to work with me, employ me or buy what I'm selling. However, we all know how much influence or sway these celebs have, which is why they often get targeted to push a certain POV or product (if Taylor Swift tells young people to vote a certain way then they likely will). Are these causes always genuine or good? I'm not so sure - money tends to be the most influential of all. Be careful who you listen to.
It's the saying "I really care" and 'I'm better than you"
lol and they are so often hypocritical.
I think those performances are the most Oscar worthy moments. 🙄 it's all performative to try and stay relevant.

Im all for speaking about the causss you support. They have a large voice, and have a role to play in supporting causes that mean something to then

Do you really think that means something to them?
Whoa was it controversial or something? I dont think it should matter, they’re their own person so let them speak imo
