It has always been my understanding that these comparisons are based on equal titles and years of experience. Whether you took off 6 years to be a mom and then got 10 years experience, you still have 10 years of experience, just like the man who didn't take those 10 years off. I do know SAHMs and clearly, they aren't counted in this because they have no salary and no title. But, I don't know of any job that lets someone take 6 months to a year leave of absence and get that same job back, which is what Coramoor implied happens regularly. Of course I would not expect someone with less experience to make as much as someone with more experience. Nor would I expect a PA to be compared to an MD. But a CPA to a CPA, both with 15 years experience and similar marks on performance reviews? You bet they should be paid similarly.
