Gender gap in tech salaries is all gone, Dice reports

The field of IT is notorious for being persistently male-dominated, but that doesn't mean women still suffer from a gender gap when it comes to pay.

In fact, the compensation gender gap has disappeared for tech workers, according to the latest salary survey from IT careers site Dice. Specifically, ever since 2009, average salaries have been equivalent for male and female tech professionals, the company reported on Tuesday -- as long as you're comparing equal levels of experience and education and parallel job titles.

Men actually did outearn women overall in the 2013-2012 Dice Salary Survey, earning an average annual income of $95,929 compared with women's $87,527. However, that difference is driven by the fact that the two groups tend to hold different positions, Dice says. Whether that's the result of personal choice or institutional bias is unclear, it added.

I'm in IT, and lead a small team of folks.

For the same job my folks are all paid almost exactly the same. Within a few hundred bucks per year.

Not sure how other departments fare.
