Nobody talks about how scary it is to leave a job you’ve been at for years. Like yeah, I want better opportunities, but what if I leave my comfort zone and the grass is NOT greener on the other side?

Anytime I see job vacancies with a salary expectation of GH₵1,200–1,500, I get so pissed.
What annoys me the most are the qualifications and experience required.
You want a degree holder with 2+ years of experience to work 22 days a month and earn GH₵1,500 in 2026? Tf😭
Aside from being a recruiter, one thing I've learnt is never to get carried away or set my expectations too high after an interview, no matter how well I think it went.
You might have answered every question confidently, connected with the interviewers and left feeling like you've got the job.
But remember, you're not the only person being interviewed. There are other candidates who are equally qualified, and someone might have experience that aligns more closely with what the organisation needs.
So, enjoy the good interview, take the lessons, but keep applying until you have an actual offer.
