Women in tech earn 82 cents for every dollar men make, even when they have the same skills, experience, and qualifications.
They hold just 26% of tech jobs and only 10% of executive leadership roles.
Not because they aren’t capable or they don’t deserve a seat at the table.
But because they don’t ask.
Stats show that women are less likely to negotiate their salaries compared to men.
They don’t apply for roles unless they meet 100% of the qualifications, while men apply when they meet just 60%.
They wait for recognition, for promotions, for someone to tap them on the shoulder.
While others actively claim the opportunities they want.
But here’s what happens when they do ask.
- Women who negotiate increase their salaries by 7% or more.
- Women who advocate for themselves earn at par with men.
- Women who take charge of their career moves break into leadership and close the gap.
The biggest difference between those who stay underpaid and those who break through is-
They ask.
They take action.
They stop waiting for permission.
If you are a woman in tech and feel like you’re being underpaid, it’s time to ask for what you deserve.
Because the pay gap shrinks when you take charge of the conversation.
