I hope people don’t misunderstand my comment to mean that I want to live in a world where women make less than men just because they are women. I certainly don’t and yet that’s the world we live in.
On the other hand this particular example from the author is not a very good one since we all know men make +/- 20% from each other
- vonseel 7y agomen make +/- 20% from each other It can go a lot more than 20%, and it doesn't always have to do with bias/minorities/etc. I think plenty of people just get paid less because they aren't strong negotiators or don't know how much they should be requesting. Sure, the latest salary report they saw online said people are getting $150k for similar jobs, but are they really getting $150k at XYZ company in your town, or are those numbers inflated by liars/SF|NYC|LA roles? Those are the thoughts that go through my head, at least, in addition to "Am I really worth that? They would offer me X if I was worth X, right?".
