It's unlikely that it is inaccurate by that much. The company would not want to show higher salaries either (resentment).

You are probably underpaid.

To further the analogy.. as soon as the fruit on the low hanging branches becomes bad enough to justify the additional effort of climbing the tree for the better fruit, people will do it.

Your argument makes it sound like you're saying no hard problems are being worked on currently, which is simply not true.

The "grid" doesn't yet exist in certain plots of land. One may want to build a house in the woods, but not pay the costs to get electric/water/sewage run to the property from whatever main road is closest.

And given how that worked for cultures before the modern age, I'll stick to those who choose to study medicine. Not those who simply prescribe whatever they felt worked once, for a reason unknown to them.

Equal in value does not imply equal in thought, experience, or skill. I think that is the major flaw in your argument and why you are misconstruing breaking down barriers for women as "sexist".

$45 is absolutely not the top range. A previous startup paid more than that to our overseas developers. It is definitely lower than a US contractor rate, but not by that level.

It's possible, but the likelihood is so low some might wonder why you're bringing that possibility up rather than discuss the much more likely alternative and how we can fix it.

Also; "I asked men and women in tech if they would be willing to share their reviews for a study and didn’t stipulate anything else."

That's the silliest argument I've heard in the past 30 minutes or so (that's saying something online!)

I loved the taste of lobster as a child. Feed me caviar then, and I'd be completely grossed out.

Why not hire remote?

Did you read the article? There is no irony here, she immediately points out her lack of understanding of fundamental accessibility principles. That is why she wrote about how we as an industry allow that to happen (senior engineers who know nothing about catering to disability).

Most developers I've met have both installed, and wouldn't think twice if you said "I'm better with Firebug, do you mind if we switch browsers?"

When deciding whether to partner with an organization, I view their team page. You are not only excluding potential coworkers via certain choices.
