First time I've ever been called a "poor lady"! I didn't interact with anyone outside my company, and pretty much the rest of my coworkers were the same. It was like we were in this little bubble and that's how we thought things were outside the bubble. Pretty much everyone in the company (<20 people) went to this startup right after college so AFAIK almost no one got recruiter spam because we didn't even have LinkedIn profiles. It was also over 6 years ago, so the ecosystem was a lot different too. But we were definitely in our own little bubble and it was only when I met my husband (a software dev) did I realize that I was being underpaid.
