Some study showed theres a HUGE disparity between men and,women when negotiating a job offer. Men were like 80% more likely to try and negotiate versus just accept the offer when compared to women.

This can easily account for a 10% difference. Ive negotiated ever offer I have ever received in my adult life. Worst case theyve said:

&gt;Sorry, but $X is the best we can do.

Yup, bingo on that one. Hell, for my current job their max offer STILL wasn't enough and I managed to get a 9k stipend from another department to make it a more acceptable wage. I make more than those 1 tier higher than me where I work and TBH it's still not enough and I try to live cheap; eat cans of soup for lunch at work!
