I just moved to a new project and found out that my predecessor (a male) was making 50% more than I am now, even though we had the same education level, skills, years experience, etc. What do I do?

That’s terrible. I wish I had advice for you but I’m not sure the best way to approach this. For starters, how did you get this info? Is your source reliable? I think it would be helpful to have solid evidence and then have an open conversation with someone you trust in your firm (either for advice on the best way to approach HR or perhaps a partner could do that on your behalf)

So women should just sit back and be ok with the wage gap and not try to move the needle at all because it isn’t our business? Really KPMG?

How did you find out? Are you sure it’s not just a hear say?

I am sorry, welcome to the wage gap. I don’t have much advice except your not alone.

It’s especially bad at Booz Allen. That’s why I left and went to Deloitte. Either bring this to leadership or leave

Definitely have a talk with someone in HR.

Did your predecessor start off with that wage or did he scale up to it?

LinkedIn question: if I have a campaign with about $950 USD (run across 3 months), what's a realistic follower count we can expect? Client hasn't given us any control over the creative process, they post run-of-the-mill corporate content. Don't want to overpromise but we do have to give them a KPI. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you. We are running this across markets such as Germany, Brazil, France, US, Spain, India, Turkey, etc. Thank you!

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
