At my last company all hands, our CFO was talking about "increasing diversity" at our company. The entire C-Level or our entire company are people of colour.

At my last company all hands, our CFO was talking about "increasing diversity" at our company. The entire C-Level or our entire company are people of colour. 4 out of 5 department heads are PoC. Customer success team are majority PoC and mostly women. Out of our entire engineering department, there are only 2 "white" people - myself (anglo-Canadian), and another man of Swedish ethnicity..though I suppose all white men are the same... Engineering is the only male dominated department, we used to have a few women developers but they left for better opportunities and hiring is currently frozen. 2/3 of our QA department are women and PoC.

> Engineering is the only male dominated department, we used to have a few women developers but they left for better opportunities and hiring is currently frozen. Other than C-level, what's the best-paid department/position in a tech company? Food for thought, if you were take the total of money paid to men vs women in your company, and really think hard about it, how would that balance out? Even if you took C-suite, really think about the answer

  But if hiring for that department is frozen, as GP stated, how do you expect it to be fixed?

  Food for thought. Read through all of your comments and count how many of them are condescending. I mean across all your throw-away accounts. Really think about the answer.

  > what's the best-paid department/position in a tech company? In our company specifically: sales. And like every non-engineering department at the company: female dominated. Also, just a few months ago there was a downsizing of the engineering department in order to stack our sales team. We've also lost 20% of the remaining engineering team since then from attrition/austerity.

  > Other than C-level, what's the best-paid department/position in a tech company? Vice presidents? Or if you're excluding people management positions, I'd say probably product managers?
