> they’re getting equal pay for equal equal positions, education, and experience
While those are certainly relevant control factors, I would presume that any conclusions are premature without demonstrating a lack of bias in the actual positions men vs. women are promoted to, relative to their experience and education.
I.e., large disparities in salary by gender for "Software Engineer III" within the same organization are a bit hard to overlook, whereas there are often much fuzzier criteria involved in who has that title in the first place.
Not looking to necessarily refute the article, but the control factors themselves are still rather variable.
