TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Most of the companies I've managed for use the
Radford surveys, which are targeted toward the
tech sector. One problem with the Radfords is
their data is based on compensation percentiles,
with no filtering for employee experience (at least
none that I can identify). The old STC survey did
make this distinction, and was often of great help
in arguing that a particular position should be
in a higher percentile based on the experience
I required for the person filling it.
