The Ukrainian platform Djinni, which analyzes the labor market in the IT field, found out that women candidates ask for lower salaries than men when looking for new jobs.
- These are the salaries in the candidate’s profile at the time of the start of the hiring negotiation, therefore women for some reason are not willing to ask for more.
- Djinni analyzed almost 6,000 jobs over the past six months, and note that only 27% of hired specialists are women, while there are 38% of women in search of a job.
- Among the hired developers, 5-15% are women, and this share decreases with increasing experience.
- The median salary of female developers in senior positions is $4,500, and that of male is $5,000.
- A similar situation with managers (product, project): the higher the experience, the fewer women there are. A man in a senior project manager position earns an average of $4,000, while a woman earns $3,000.
- The largest share of women is in the HR and Recruitment categories (as much as 87%). With up to 5 years of experience, they even earn more than men. But in the senior category, men have $200 more.
There are no DevOps in the sample, because there are only a few female DevOps hired, and none with 5+ years of experience.
