something I learned while still pretty junior was that if you only ever talk to other underrepresented people about pay, you get an idea of normal numbers, but who you really need to be talking to are the white guys. their numbers are completely different I am now very senior. It’s still true

In a working group listening to white dudes praise and thank each other for creating a word doc! 🙄🙄

Consistently making less than my coworkers probably should have been a sign I wasn't really a white dude. My largest bumps in pay were to get me *just* over the salaries of those I would then manage.

I remember talking to a co-worker (white guy) who did in the same role less but made $10 an hour more! I had more experience and was better qualified. I was floored.

I remember working at a firm, in a windowless corner, with 10 years experience and bilingual. They hired a dude who had never done that sort of work before, monolingual, gave him his own office and twice my pay. Then they offered me a “promotion” of running my own office alone…

My old employer managed to effectively eliminate the gender pay gap for role and level. Everyone's pay increase was determined by HR using an algorithm that was based off your review scores. It removed all discretion from the managers but wiped out the gap in a few cycles.

I ended up quitting a job in IT (had a weird career path) that I had, after finding out that they had hired a 19 year old white guy, no degree or experience, at $10/hr more than me. I was in my mid 20s, had a B.S., had been with the company for 3 years, and was a team lead.
