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 was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

This isn't narrow, that would be a couple thousands difference and you're making $10k+ more. You will never get a substantial raise in your own org and seems on par with the pay band for a lead.
This would not go over well in a 1-1. Make the choice to leave or be happy that you're in a team you love to work with, and check the ego at the door.
It’s based on market conditions.
To be sincere if you’re in Chicago, that gap really isn’t where it should be for 5 years of experience your value should be more clearly reflected.
That said, don’t focus only on salary comparisons. With your experience, you’re in a strong position to start something of your own. Even a small online business or consulting on the side can grow into something much bigger.
Long term, building a business and having a team working for you gives you more control over your income and growth than any fixed role.
So raise it professionally where you are but also start thinking beyond the job.

You will really only ever get big pay jumps by moving around nowadays. If you want to see bigger reward from your experience, its time to look elsewhere
I mean....13 grand ain't chicken feed.
