I did a little unscientific research on Google...

"former technical writer" - 430 hits
"former programmer" - 2000 hits
"former manager" - 67,500 hits (LOL!)

This corresponds to my experience... back when I was chasing FT jobs, one of
my interview questions was "Can you introduce me to anyone here who *used*
to be a technical writer?" Nobody ever took me up on that - not once. I
concluded that tech writers were not likely to advance in the organization.

(and a lot of the "former manager" hits seemed to be in the context of
"indicted" or "ordered to pay damages..." :-)
