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.
If there's a wide range in salaries for F.T. tech writers, there's an equally
wide range in salary potentials. You could take a job for, say, $40K and have
no increase for 3 years because the company has no money. Or, you could take
a job for, say, $35K, and be earning $44 after 3 years of increases.
Someone mentioned comparing the salary paid to tech writers compared to the
salary paid to other job classifications at the company. You could also find
out whether the company has a bonus system, and if so, are the tech writers
eligible.
