Women, here is the deal: unless you are at the C-level, in which case I cannot offer help one way or another and have no data, ASSUME YOU ARE BEING UNDERPAID.

Women, here is the deal: unless you are at the C-level, in which case I cannot offer help one way or another and have no data, ASSUME YOU ARE BEING UNDERPAID. The bias is too powerful. It's like people saying "they are not racist." Almost everybody is! Same thing with salaries. Always come up with something more aggressive than your original "feeling." Also, make friend with us guys. We can help you. Don't simply ask your girlfriends how much they are making or how much you should ask for. It's a vicious cycle! Ask the guys! It amazes me when I have hired females how little they ask for, and the surprise when I tell them the range I am hiring them for.
