My two pence worth..
I work in a Male dominated industry.. I worked for the same company for a few years this is going back a few years, and knew my male counterparts where on much more for doing the same role as me... I proved my worth and asked for a pay rise and gave them the chance to rectify the issue.
They made a big deal of it and played it on thick that they didnt want to lose me and of course would give me a pay rise. They did and it was a pittance so within 6 months I had a new job somewhere else which was a promotion on around 45k p.a more. The lesson for me in this was show a company what you are worth be brilliant at your job and always ask for what you are worth.
If you dont get it leave and go somewhere else.. this is all pre covid of course and things are different know. But as they return to some normality I think this advice still stands..
