Subject:Salaries in SF Bay Area From:Arthur Comings <atc -at- CORTE-MADERA -dot- GEOQUEST -dot- SLB -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 7 Mar 1994 11:11:57 PST
There were a few messages here recently about salaries in the SF Bay
Area. The consensus was that, for a tech writer with 5+ years'
experience, salaries ranged from $45,000 to $60,000.
This was helpful in a recent discussion with my manager, but he'd
really like to see more. Can anyone else offer evidence (the "harder"
the better) that will help me in my search for appropriate
compensation?
Thanks
Arthur
