Despite the added pressure on creating equitable and accessible workspaces for women, fair compensation remains a common pain point in most industries — especially tech.
In fact, a 2021 survey from recruiting platform Hired found that men were offered higher salaries than women for the same tech job title and position at the same company 59% of the time. On average, women were offered salaries 2.5% lower, and when interviewing for open roles, companies were found to be interviewing only men for open positions 41% of the time and only women 4% of the time — a figure almost unchanged over the past three years.
