Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

I don't doubt there are examples like you cite, but the question is whether the disparity is linked to gender. It may be, and if so, that's obviously wrong. However, people in the same positions typically have pay differences which can relate to education, experience, and even when they came aboard. For instance, someone accepting a low offer in this unfavorable job market will likely be trailing in salary as long as they're with the organization.
I guess that can be true, someone in my department is in quite a bit less than me and my other coworker just based on how they got into the job.
If you are fishing for anecdotes, you will likely find some. The data and statistical analysis required makes your question hard if not impossible to answer. Even if you were to clearly define what “solved” meant.
Yeah it might be too broad to answer in a small post, was more hoping to spark discussion!
Every job I have had has had the same pay for the same role, only difference being increases from tenure. That being said, women will statistically be paid less due to time off from work for family, and falling behind in that regard. I am more concerned about advancement and how age and gender impact that.
I think the issue is more. Men tend to benefit from marriage as it leaves them able to focus more on their career while the wife ends up taking more in the background. Whether that’s home duties or child rearing. There is research that shows that men tend to benefit career wise from marriage both in perception and in real benefits. While the inverse is true for women.
A bit similar to when a dad shows up at the park with the kids they’re seen as such a good dad even if they only do it occasionally. While when women do the same it’s just another day.
However I think this comes down to individual dynamics. I have known couples where the woman was the major earner and the dynamic is inverse. The man takes on more of a supportive role while the woman went out to get their MBA/advanced in their career/etc.
Both how a person shows up and is able to earn that higher salary AND the perception of a man play a role in the gap.
I definitely make less than my male coworkers and rarely get promoted as much as they do
I thought it was still an ongoing issue!
