As women continue to struggle to earn salary parity with men who possess the same credentials and do the same job, women’s generally lesser earnings on Wall Street clearly manifest that the fight to eradicate gender bias is far from over. Whether or not you work on Wall Street or aspire to, read this article to learn valuable proactive strategies and on-the-job action plans to get both the respect and the fair monetary compensation that you deserve in any workplace.

The topics addressed in the article include the following: the advantage of choosing jobs with responsiblities that can be measured quantitatively and objectively by male managers who might otherwise exhibit gender bias (e.g. sales and trading); researching business sources to learn the typical salary offered for a particular job prior to actual salary negotiation (including several sources); using women’s networking organizations; work-ethic recommendations for earning more than men; and researching companies of interest to learn of any past gender bias lawsuits filed against them. Where sexual harassment is concerned, the article provides practical tips for putting a stop to it.
