Microsoft CEO: I was 'completely wrong' to say women shouldn't ask for raises

"Toward the end of the interview, Maria [Klawe, a member of Microsoft's board of directors] asked me what advice I would offer women who are not comfortable asking for pay raises. I answered that question completely wrong. Without a doubt I wholeheartedly support programs at Microsoft and in the industry that bring more women into technology and close the pay gap. I believe men and women should get equal pay for equal work. And when it comes to career advice on getting a raise when you think it's deserved, Maria's advice was the right advice. If you think you deserve a raise, you should just ask." [Satya Nadella, Microsoft]
