Levels.fyi Gender Pay Gap Report Q1 2024
The following report consists of all the data that we've collected this year within the United States that had associated gender and level mapping information. The following report represents a subset of the main Levels.fyi compensation dataset. Using these data points we are able to determine discrepancies in compensation by gender.
While approximately 16% of the data points from the US in our dataset were submitted by women, the representation of women in STEM fields in the US stands notably higher at 24%, according to a report by MIT. This shows a difference between our data and what's happening in the wider tech world. Understanding who works in tech helps us see if everyone gets a fair chance. Below, you can see the percentages of women and men in tech roles at big companies globally. This gives us a better picture of gender diversity in the tech industry.
The Levels.fyi Standard is a leveling hierarchy we've abstracted from company-specific names to make aggregation easier. Using this approximation for leveling, we model out the percentiles of total compensation by gender for software engineering across the US overall, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and New York City. For a deeper look, you can filter individual data points by gender on our compensation page.
