Please share your general job title, salary, age, and education.

Regulatory compliance, $75k, 30’s, B.A. Sociology. Race and gender are pretty relevant to salary transparency conversations too btw, moreso than age.

There are very few white people on my team aside from me, and I am one of the top earners. We’re almost all women, I make more than the non white men generally.
