Gender Bias in NYC Salaries

Beatbeat recently released an article listing the 20 most hirable yet already employed developers and designers in the NYC area. Given the scarcity of tech talent on today’s market, these “poachable” employees were listed alongside a Ballpark Poachability Number (B.P.N.) that, as Foster Kamer explained, is “an index compiled from salaries known, either of The Poachables’ or those around them, and then from the kind of offer that could get them to budge; not what they’re paid, it’s what they could get paid. It’s basically a glorified, informed guesstimate.“
