I don't want to draw too many conclusions from this but I did find it interesting that men and women are paid similarly. There exists a large experience gap which skews total pay but for the most part it seems things are pretty equal.

I had to go back and look after looking at your comment. It does seem to track pretty consistently.
I've always speculated that a part of the pay gap might be explained by willingness to negotiate. I wonder if recruiters being more normal in this industry helps. In my own experience the recruiter I've worked with has helped a lot in salary negotiations.

Yeah I felt positive about this result as well!
I believe that pay discrimination does happen and I don't want to invalidate anyone experience if that has happened to them, but I've been pleased to work with very competent men and women over my career who I believe were all compensated fairly from my observations.
