There’s so many stats flying around that it’s tough to keep up. Both sides can seemingly back up their points. Is your thought that these factors (less hours, different fields, etc.) do in fact cause the wage gap, and so the problem is how to manage those contributing factors such that the gap closes? I’m just…

lol, silence

I’m sure your insistence on not negotiating is making you plenty of money in the negotiations that you aren’t having.

Obviously my experience is limited. It’s a small sample size. Should I be citing that every single time I say it? My thoughts on that haven’t changed, but you sure do seem to enjoy harping on its omission to help me fit this character you want me to play.

LOL someone’s upset that I read the article that they referenced (see how dedicated I am to not learning anything new!), when they evidently did not.

Lol this is the second time you’ve claimed that I’m sensitive after saying the same to you. I’ll just leave that there without perpetuating this sensitivity inception.

You appear to be taking my few comments and weaving them into the narrative that you seem to expect from men (hence the term, “mansplaining”). Yet I’m the sexist!

It’s just a bit odd to comment on a comment on an article about a woman telling everyone to negotiate their salary with advice to not negotiate their salary. That’s terrible advice. If you take issue with salary negotiation, comment on the article, not someone supporting it. Did you attack Kristin as well? She posted…

I’ve been consistent with everyone. Should I apologize for not copying and pasting the same reply to everyone, but rather, engaging in a unique discussion with every person who took the time to respond to me (including you)?

From my own experience in speaking with both male and female friends and watching their careers vary greatly, I’ve arrived at the same conclusion. There are (some) studies that suggest the contrary, but there are a lot of studies that say a lot of things. My experience has led me to believe the same thing that you…

Not trying to blame women for being paid less. As others have pointed out, there are studies that show that women may be penalized for negotiating and that negotiating doesn’t help. All I can say is that in my experience, my male friends tend to negotiate or change jobs if that fails to reach a higher salary. My…

You're right. Terrible advice for women. They should never attempt to negotiate their salary even though the article you are commenting on is about advice from a woman advocating salary negotiation.

Very interesting. So your thought is that it’s more of a mindset? Men feel pressured to provide (from society, perhaps even nature), whereas women may view their income as serving a fundamentally different purpose?

Great references, thanks for the info.

This is fantastic advice, particularly for women, who at least in my small experience are less willing to negotiate/sell themselves than men. I often wonder if that is, at least partially, responsible for the wage gap.

I wasn’t sure if the API maybe allowed for that. Haven’t read the docs.

This is really cool. Does this change the fact that you can only have one active trip on your account at a time? That’s been an annoyance in the past. For instance, after a night out, if I wanted to send someone home in an Uber, that would then prohibit me from taking an Uber myself until their trip ended. It would be…

If you want to skip OSX Server and get your hands a tiny bit dirty, you can easily get the same level of security if you have a computer at home and you’re using a laptop remotely (i.e. something not running a mobile OS). Just set up SSH on your home machine (doesn’t need to be running OSX Server), then set up a quick…

Not at all. Plenty of people work “full time” but are technically paid hourly. They often discuss their annual income at 40 hours/week, but are technically paid hourly.

Sometimes you’re not in the position to grab a calculator or phone. Maybe you’re on an interview or in a casual conversation and you’re just curious. That’s what this tip is for. Situations where you can’t/shouldn’t whip out a calculator/phone.
