#TechPayGap

TechPayGap is our Hashtag of the Week. Why?

It’s no secret there are more men in tech jobs than women --but did you know about the wage gap between the sexes? A recent report by Comparably made this interesting discovery: as professionals age, the gender wage gap decreases.

Currently, there’s a 29% difference in salaries between men and women entering the tech field between the ages of 18 and 25. By the time they are over 50, men earn just 5 per cent more than women. In tech, salary offers are based on a professional’s salary history, not skills, widening the wage gap. Women start behind and spend their careers just trying to catch up.
