All around cool guy @patio11 says "charge more." It's good advice, and it will definitely work for the white men in the audience.

But the further away you are from a white man, the harder it is to actually do.

"Charge more" borders on glib, in that it suggests that all you have to do is say a bigger number instead of a smaller one.

That actually works for most of the men I know. It has never worked for me.

"Negotiate your salary!" Studies have shown that white men who negotiate are viewed favorably; non-white-men who negotiate are not.

"Charge more" & "negotiate your salary," when said to women & people of color, places the responsibility for the salary gap on the victims.

I would LOVE to charge more/negotiate my salary, but it's much less effective for me than it is for white men, so the advice rings hollow.

I realize that some white men are underpaid too, and I'm truly glad that they've found some techniques to help fix it.

As blanket advice, though, it's pretty insensitive.

@sarahmei If that sounds interesting happy to chat some at next conference we share. Some fun stories, some a wee bit less fun.
