PRESENTING: The anonymous spreadsheet over 700 women in tech have contributed to to help close the wage gap

Women often make less money than their male counterparts in tech, research has found: Hired's 2019 "The State of Wage Inequality in the Workplace" report on the gender pay gap, for example, showed men were offered higher pay than women for the same position at the same company 60% of the time.

But if women do happen to learn about a pay gap in their workplace, the same study found that most respondents will do something about it — whether look for a new, higher-paying job or talk to HR or their manager about their salary.

That's why working mom and tech employee Lizzie Kardon made a collaborative, anonymous Google spreadsheet — so women in tech could compare salaries and know when to ask for more money.
