They were not offered the same amount. I had recommended a significantly higher amount for both women. Male partner took it down. When I recommended the same for the male associates I was removed from the conversation. Found out the amounts after.
Typically folks not in HR/recruiting have a line of sight on compensation beyond 5the posted ranges for the position… something about this doesn’t make sense to me
Advocate for the women to negotiate, but otherwise nothing. You don’t know the circumstances… if all 4 were originally offered the same, and then the men negotiated and the women didn’t? Or maybe the men had prior work experience that counted more than education? Need more details.
Paying less based on gender is not ok but someone with more education shouldn’t automatically get higher pay either.
I agree but not necessarily $20k less either.
Definitely depends on the company but at my last job someone complained and they ended up getting a pay rise to align with the other person who was in the same role as them. It may also have to do with what the two women requested as salary as well. A lot of factors to consider.
I have more education than most. Deloitte said when I got my MS and my EdD that they don't care. It has no impact on my pay. It's time to go.

What could they do? Report it to HR. Nothing will happen.

Those ladies should have negotiated! I’ve been able to bounce past my male peers constantly by making these companies compete. I got them to unlock extra $$ on internships and for my first FTE offer. Play the game.
Why are you assuming they didn't negotiate? If this partner offered them less, he may have refused to negotiate higher or started them much lower starting point where negotiating higher would have appeared unreasonable in terms of percentages/proportions. Let's not assume...
With out knowing comparable skill sets and experince, hard to know. Did both women get exactly the same comp and noth men her exactly the same vom Telling the women would set them up for failure. Nothing like starting a new job feeling great about the opportunity and pay hike and having someone tell you the company just screwed you on comp.
I would be checking my comp to see if there is a disparity that looked like gender bias. If its a company pattern of behavior, I'd be pushing it. For those women, 9 to 10 months in I might give them a heads up to do some comp research for their review.
But you don't set the comp, and you don't have all the info.
And if they are all out of the same university the powers that be are idiots if they think they won't all know each other's offers.
