Heres how much top tech jobs in California pay, according to job ads
Summary
California is the latest and biggest state to enact a pay transparency law, joining Colorado and New York City, which had previously passed similar policies. "Youre going to need a lot of different elements in place in order for men and women to get paid the same for the same amount of work and the same experience," said Monique Limón, the California state senator who sponsored the new law. The second part requires companies with more than 100 employees to submit a pay data report to the state of California with detailed salary information broken down by race, sex, and job category. For high-paying jobs in the technology industry, equity compensation in the form of restricted stock units can make up a large percentage of an employees take-home pay. "Especially for tech employees, ultimately people want to know how much theyre getting in total compensation," said Zuhayeer Musa, co-founder of Levels.fyi, a firm focused on recruiting and coaching for technology workers.
