Oracle is a big name but many companies do this; in my experience women simply do not negotiate as hard as guys. I do not and never did coding interviews, current pay has to be higher than the last etc; I try to get my female friends to be as cocky (many of them are far smarter and capable than me) but they just are not. So it is easy to just underpay while getting real talent. Somehow I guess guys (again, in my experience) are more aggressive and often messing things up for themselves by not backing down, however when it works...

Women have noticably higher levels of agreeableness: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3149680/#!po=0.549451 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3149680/#!po=0....

> however when it works The social difference between men at the top 10% of the income vs bottom 10% has always been very significant. Women are not forced with the same negative consequences if they end up with lower income, so it would be surprising if those far smarter would willingly expose themselves to unnecessary risk during negotiation, just so they can match the same income.
