“Silicon Valley is known as the land of opportunity, aspiration, and possibilities. Women in the workplace have become normal, and they are respected and valued for their ideas and perseverance. Many young women, raised in Silicon Valley, are encouraged from an early age to chase after their dreams, academically achieve, and challenge obstacles. However, there are still a fair amount of obstacles for us women heere. The gender gap in pay has only been steadily increasing. Men who hold advanced degrees make $1,667 more a month, on average, than women with the same degrees.”
