I have been working as a programmer for over 30 years. In one of my earlier jobs, I supported payroll which gave me access to certain info. When I snooped, it p*ssed me off because I saw that people were making more than me and they were not as competent than me. There was also pay inequalities because of gender. I don't find that is the problem now because of demand. Some of my family knows but my friends know I make decent money because of my profession.
