It seems to me that there is something missing in just analyzing wage gaps between men and women for the same level. For example, I've heard (anecdotally) of a FAANG company where the leadership realized (I'm unclear how, but likely through a grassroots movement) that women earn more than their male counterparts in the same level, but this was due to many of the women being overqualified for their level and being denied promotion to a higher level.
- chii 5y ago> women earn more than their male counterparts in the same level ... being denied promotion to a higher level. that doesn't make sense. If they are being denied a promotion, then they're doing the same old job as their male counterpart. If they're paid more, are they being paid more for doing the same job as their male counterpart?

In many tech companies, just because you’re the same level doesn’t mean the work you do is the same, and moreso performance at your work. Another restatement of what I said is that it would be interesting to also consider how quickly men get promoted over women given similar skill sets/levels, which I acknowledge is difficult to quantify.
