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.
Question for all listserv members interested in salary:
Are salary surveys for real? According to Contract Professional Magazine's
1999 rate survey, most contractor TWs have an hourly rate of $50 per hour or
more. Yet, I did a fairly comprehensive survey, (over about a months time),
of www.dice.com TW positions and find this to be highly exaggerated.
(To add to the confusion, Contract Pro. says that their results are posted
on www.dice.com.)
All responses appreciated.
