I'm glad you've had a great experience on Hired and that it has changed your life for the better.
I'm surprised that your experience is that the initial salary offers (at the interview request stage) are significantly different than your final salary offer, because I can tell you that this is not the experience of most people on our platform. The majority of the final salary offers are equal to or greater than the offer given at the interview request stage. On average the final salary offers are slightly higher than the interview request offers across all Software Engineering Hires on the Hired platform.

The way the Hired platform works is that companies must submit an initial salary offer when they start the interview process, and so all interview requests have salaries attached to them. Of course these offers can be negotiated later, but for the vast majority of our hires on the platform, the final base salary is equal to or higher than the initial offer given at the interview stage. Therefore we feel confident that this salary data is representative (if not a slight underestimate) on 2015 salaries for software engineers.

The aim of this piece was to try and highlight the benefits to being a woman in STEM. I do not think there are no gender problems in STEM, and I hope some of the people who read this post look the linked articles about the numerous issues that women face. It is upsetting that #YesAllWomen didn't get more up-votes here on hacker news.
Thanks for the corrections. I have changed the post to reflect the Hadoop/Hive/MapReduce mistake. I am still new at this tech thing and obviously don't know all the terminology yet.
