If the SIRS you're referring to is the one based in Boca Raton, do NOT use
them as a guideline - their salaries are at the extreme low end of the
spectrum.
To be more succinct, they pay crap. They've got some good people, some of
whom I've met at STC meetings, but they're taking advantage of them,
paying them 1/2 to 1/3 of what other tech writers in South Florida make.
Use the STC survey, and possibly www.salary.com. Good luck!
