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! :)

Another way to curb the wage gap: don’t ask people what they currently make. Don’t let a past wage gap perpetuate just because someone underpaid someone once.
So true. In NYC it’s illegal to ask someone their salary history. If someone asks, ask them what the budget is for the role. Make them give a number first. There’s always a budget and they’ll usually tell you what it is. A lot of the time it’s negotiable. Be nice to everyone you interact with and make your future employers want to get you what you deserve.
Salary ranges are company directives not something at the discretion of the recruiter. Also, that info isn't disclosed to hiring managers so they don't evaluate candidates on requested salary. It's confidential and only dept heads may know it and eventually the direct supervisor (later on at a hypothetical promotion/review) but no, salary will not be disclosed or discussed between hiring manager and HR/recruiter during a candidate's hiring process.
Above is at large / more corporate structured places. Not small / private shops where all sorts of "crazy" practices are in place.
In my experience when interviewing with large agencies I’ve always asked the recruiter what the budget is for the salary and been given a number. The recruiters don’t determine those figures but they know what they are and can negotiate on behalf of the candidate with dept head support. As someone doing the hiring (for an agency owned by a holding company) I don’t have a say in salaries allocated for positions but I can make my voice heard and help to make sure people are treated fairly. I don’t need to know the exact number being discussed to let it be known that I want people on my team paid what they’re worth. And sometimes I do know the salary being offered
And push for raises for the right people when they’re underpaid.
Candidates should definitely ask for and negotiate for their desired salaries. Especially women! However, a recruiter will not simply offer you more than what you asked for if what you asked for is within range - and I guarantee you that dept heads will not push for that either. That would literally not make business sense and they'd be in trouble. (With junior candidates who may not know or may ask below our lowest range, we do offer more to be within range as per company directive)
