> Growth - I cared less about growth as far as I had a decent salary to live with. I am someone who likes to work for the challenges I can solve and not for the minor salary increases or bonuses. May sound stupid

Is that a gender bias? I had this issue myself, being an introvert and generally hating any conflict. I had to train myself to play the game.

I'm not saying that's a good thing, but not sure It's the company putting down one gender. Louder people tend to move up.

FWIW I did ask multiple times. Each time there was a 'next-time' excuse. I saw my shy fellow coworkers moving up but maybe they were better negotiators behind the door.

On my part, I did some research. Except the senior management whose salaries are publicly available, the women in the company that I'm close with either receive little to measly bonuses and have had a hard time moving up. Maybe it's because it's a large company or because I'm not someone to forcefully ask a raise just-cause. Either way it's nerve-wrecking to make up excuses for no obvious mistake of mine.

Men get passed over for promotions they deserve all the time too. You're just assuming it's because of your gender but haven't provided any evidence for it.

Did you ever consider changing employers and interviewing for only senior roles?
