The reports that HR puts out every year are a total statistical magic trick designed to pacify the engineering team. Our latest internal report claimed a 98% pay equity across identical bands, but it completely ignored the fact that men are systematically leveled higher upon entry for the exact same years of experience. They adjust the numbers to look perfect by comparing a Level 4 to a Level 4, while ignoring the systemic bias in how those levels are handed out in the first place. How do you actually audit true compensation equity?

How do you know they’re adjusting the numbers?

Interesting they do this audit and report it when there is obvious counterpoints such as the ones you outlined.

Yet again I’m watching a client fuck up a nice spot so bad I can’t put it in my reel. Absolutely disheartening.

I am working for a client in infosys and the project is in initial stage and the go live is somewhere in January.

Now the thing is this project has lot of toxic people from client team and they play blame games on daily basis.

I am working as a team lead here and want to get deallocated from this project.

Please help me with right approach and save my soul.

I am a Senior Manager of Software Engineering and lead architect at a small company (was a startup with < 10 employees when I joined, now has > 50). I am the most senior technical person in the company (we don't have a CTO, I report to the COO), even though I only have 4.5 YOE. By God's grace I have been able to succeed in the role, but feel that I am underpaid and would like your input.
