Not really. A woman at Google can be paid well above industry average, and still be paid less than her male Google peers. In that case, she would have no incentive to leave for higher pay elsewhere (since few places beat Google pay), but Google would still have broken employment law if that pay discrepancy is pervasive.
- skookumchuck 9y agoIndustry average doesn't really apply. What the Silicon Valley local market is does apply, and if there are places that pay better, they'd go there. Why stay at a place where you're underpaid relative to your peers when another place down the street offers more money? I wouldn't. Besides, I've read that there's a lot of job hopping going on in SV for better pay, and that includes googlers. It's hard to see how one could make systematically underpaying a group of people work.
