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.
We're trying to recruit tech writers right now. Not only are we having a
hard time getting people in the door (we're in CA -- East Bay), but those
coming in with 3+ experience are demanding at least 70K. Many want at least
75K. Perhaps it's networking writers in particular -- not sure.
I'm not unwilling to pay this, however, it seems like tech writers are
pulling the Mazda Miatta gig -- sell at whatever the buyer will pay. And
pay they will right now -- I've discovered that tech writer openings are a
dime a dozen.
Are other tech pubs mgrs experiencing this?
