RE: perspective on rates

[Nancy Allison <maker -at- verizon -dot- net>]

Hey, all! There is a web site called  glassdoor.com that enables people 
to post their salaries anonymously. Here's what they're showing for tech 
writers:

 
http://www.glassdoor.com/GD/Salaries/index.htm?sc.occupationParam=technical+writer

You have to post something, either your salary or a company review, to 
get all the information. I am truly looking forward to browsing through 
this site. It looks absolutely fascinating.

Oh, and the tech writing salary info is pretty depressing some of the 
time . . .
