A Nairobi-based digital marketer who goes by the name BrandSprout turned down a job offer at a Westlands company after the interviewer named a gross salary of KSh 50,000 for a role that would have required him to build and lead an entire department.

In a TikTok video captioned "Rejected a 50K salary 😳: Part 1", BrandSprout recounted the experience in a conversational, selfie-style clip filmed outdoors, walking viewers through every stage of the interview from the moment he received the invitation to the point the offer fell apart.

BrandSprout said he received an email two weeks before the interview, inviting him to apply for a digital marketing position at a company he later discovered specialised in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems — software that helps businesses automate functions such as payroll processing and other administrative tasks.

The company, part of a larger organisation operating outside Kenya, had reportedly been in business for approximately 15 years.
