Gender pay gap

I'm six months into a job where my manager constantly over-expects out of the team. We're asked to work longer hours everyday (with no overtime pay – we get paid a fixed amount on a monthly basis) and most of the weekends as well are spent working (again, with no extra pay). In my role, I have access to the company's payroll information. (I'm a finance professional and look after the P&L.) Yesterday I discovered that they've hired a guy for a similar role, with lesser experience than mine, at a higher package. I've heard plenty about gender pay gap but never thought I would experience it myself, in the city and profession that I come from. It sucks. I would appreciate some advice on how soon I can think about moving on, so that I am not termed a job hopper. Also, how do I explain all this (especially…

Exit from a frustrated SW engineer.

Edit: TL;DR: Waited a 7 months for a promised raise and promotion at shitty organization. Left immediately from high profile project when that didn't come through. Sowed mild chaos and discontent on my exit. Walked away with my bonus and started new job paying more in better environment. I quit my job a few weeks back. I know some of you here are in retail or warehouse labor and you don't want to hear the grumblings of someone making 6 figures but there is exploitation at every level. This happens aggressively to those on an immigration visa. The companies cry “the talent doesn't exist here in the US so we need immigrants.” Those who have mobility use it and they leave bad companies. Those that can't are basically slaves to their immigration status. It's exploitative and wrong and it bothers me. I don't have that problem but it shows the…
