Quincy Larsen digs into the results from the O’Reilly 2016 Salary Survey of 5,000 developers.
Perhaps the most important takeaway:
Not only are women grossly under-represented among developers, but they are grossly under-paid.
Women earned on average $13,000 less than their male counterparts.
Even when you control for location, title, and years of experience, women still get $5,000 less per year than men.
I suspect one thing that would make this change is if this sort of data was exposed on a company by company basis.
Read the whole thing. There’s a lot of good data here.
