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.
My answer would be maybe a coupla months, maybe another year....
As some have said, it depends on stability here. Right now my group remains
well-supported and important, given the company's focus. We'll see whether
that remains. Mergers and purchases change things. I just made it through
two merger-related re-orgs. So that's good.
That said, my personal situation may keep me here longer than might
otherwise be the case. Even as management sometimes feels like chaos around
me, and decisions made by The Powers That Be frustrate me, I personally am
in an excellent position. We've created a new group (several months ago) of
tech writers and business analysts. Development in our area is implementing
UML-based, JAD-related methodology which makes for exciting role for
documentor. I am being given opportunity to pursue
requirements-management-type training, which I'm enjoying. For this small
group and for new knowledge/opportunities, I'll suffer plenty of chaos.
