University of Ghana (UG) final-year student’s demands for a staggering GHS 50,000 monthly salary to work as a full-stack developer for a tech company have 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 for 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.

The guy's negotiation skill is terrible, how do you drop from 50,000 to 20,000... 🤷🏾♂️

I didn't see any experience level mentioned in the post but I believe anyone demanding that kind of salary must be a Snr Engineer
