I’m kind of in shock and don’t know what to do actually. I’ve been with this company, and working on this specific engineering team since 2020. Late last year, I had to take a leave of absence because I had a baby.

While I was away on maternity leave, management hired two new engineers. It’s important to know that they’re in the same title and position I am.

I recently learned that I make less than all of them. I’m the only female on our team. There were two other engineers on the team prior to the new hires - so in total we are now a team of 5.

Both of my coworkers from before my leave of absence make $120k, I make $100k, and my two new coworkers who were hired while I was on leave….make $150k.

Never mind the $20k gap between my original coworkers - that’s already fucked, but $50k is an absolutely insane pay gap.

What the fuck do I even do?
