But according to new research published today in the Washington Post, this is a myth \u2014 women do ask, they just don\u2019t get as much in return:<\/p>\n<p>The research focused on career paths of high-potential men and women, drawing on thousands of MBA graduates from top schools around the world. Catalyst found that, among those who had moved on from their first post-MBA job, there was no significant difference in the proportion of women and men who asked for increased compensation or a higher position.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the rewards were different.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Women who initiated such conversations and changed jobs post MBA experienced slower compensation growth than the women who stayed put. For men, on the other hand, it paid off to change jobs and negotiate for higher salaries\u2014they earned more than men who stayed did. And we saw that as both men\u2019s and women\u2019s careers progress, the gender gap in level and pay gets even wider.<\/p>\n<p>Catalyst\u2019s research debunks the myth that women themselves are to blame for the gender gap in the workplace. As the Catalyst authors put it, \u201cIf women are asking, but are still not advancing as quickly, maybe we need to frame things differently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nationally, American women still earn only 81 cents to the male dollar. The median income for women is lower than men in all 50 states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Article: Study: Women Ask For Raises And Promotions As Often As Men, But Get Less In Return by Marie Diamond in Think Progress.
