Do you think women engineers get payed less then their male counterparts in the same position/role/level?
Yes, hence the regular string of public compensation adjustment announcements when companies conduct equity audits.
I only know the salaries of 3 women in FANG, but I was surprised at how low they were in all three instances. I'm inclined to say it does exist.
Companies take advantage of women not being as aggressive in negotiations
They take advantage of everybody who’s unaggressive in negotiations.

Yup. Have seen sudden unexplained large adjustments. Couldn't think of any other explanation
That's more as negotiation skill pay gap then gender pay gap
This is not a subjective question; it’s been proven to exist again and again.
But, people with no special knowledge want to opine that it doesn’t.
The question really should be "how large is the unexplained wage gap" and "do you believe the unexplained portion is due to discrimination". Most studies peg the unexplained gap at < 3% which is *far* from the regularly touted 21%, but then there's still a question of if we just lack the data to properly attribute the last 3% *or* if that's due to discrimination itself. Whether a gap exists is less critical than "why" it exists, because the common mischaracterization is that any gap between groups exists entirely because of discrimination, which is misguided at best.
There could be gender pay gap but does it reflect bias for a gender or may be that women are not as good at negotiation. I'm not saying they are. Can say the same thing if there is a culture gap like people from certain countries are more comfortable negotiating than others.
Well even if women negotiate, it's seen differently then men negotiating. Same way as women showing the same leadership skills as men are seen as"bossy"
Dunno. Nobody will tell me how much they get paid.
The pay gap is around 3% when properly taking preferences and choices into account https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_2073804. Explained entirely by difference in negotiation skills.
