Just thought I'd add a bit of "color" to this submission since it seems to be dropping:

Honestly, for most of my career, I can say that it was far more than 10k a year. In the last few years, as more people have posted salary information, did I realize my salary was way below market and below most of my peers. I was just happy to be in tech... Only now, with over 10 years of experience, am I drawing a median salary and that took going through a recruiter.

Just so disturbing. We pride ourselves in tech on being a meritocracy. But it's not really true, even now. I'm a starchy-assed white guy, who was born in Asia and married a dark-skinned woman, so you'd think maybe I was different. But when I ran engineering organizations 25 years ago, I interviewed and hired precisely 0 African Americans and 0 Hispanics. I promoted two white women, and two white men, and nobody I recall of Asian, Indian or Middle-Eastern background.

But articles like this help. Keep pounding in the message, and eventually people will change ... or die off.
