/ Pay transparency /
Salary has always been a matter of personal privacy,
but recently, in order to promote pay equality, an
Asian-American female software engineer working
in a San Francisco listed technology company not
only disclosed her salary, but also hundreds of
peers’ salary information collected anonymously. By
increasing transparency, she wants to reduce pay
inequality. At the same time, according to a survey
by an American hiring firm, male employees can
052 earn 63% more than female counterparts for the
same tech post in the same company, while 54% of
female employees in the tech world also pointed out
that their income is less than their male counterparts.
