Or that their sales contacts treat women and non-binary folks worse than men.

sales is literally you-eat-what-you-kill. you get paid % commission on sales regardless of your gender.
There are so many sales people nobody would actually bother creating a separate pay grade for women and separate for men (and it would be highly unethical and illegal ofc)

Who gets handed the best leads to the biggest fish? The people perceived as the best deal closers. Perceived. This is where you can hide the most sexism, along with other confounders, yes.

And every other human social bias: attractiveness, confidence, loyalty, etc.
You can’t point to gender and say that’s the clear and overwhelming bias.

I think the orthodox Left response to this would be that the unseen hand of the patriarchy and general internalised gender roles cause women to hustle less/advocate for recognition of their performance less than men, or for men to overlook their contributions.
Weird that jobs with performance bonuses are the largest gap — but that perhaps suggests that the cause isnt sexism in the workplace, but yet more confounders they didn’t account for.
