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.
There are many "management level" technical authors (Documentation Managers)
positions. And you'll find that the role of the technical writer is wide and
varied. You can branch out into many other areas, UI, knowledge management,
training, and still be a technical author.
Don't let the job title constrain you, we are all just trying to create
better information, distribute it in smarter ways, and do the very best we
can for the customers of our products. Keep that in mind and you'll soon be
involved at a high-level within your company, help map out how the product
can/should grow, what tasks the USERS want, and what to call things.
Honest.
Best of luck with the rest of your career.
And for the record, I'm 33, and speak of the above from personal experience.

Sometimes I do feel that is it like that I will be doing technical writing
all my life and be nothing else, not climbing up the role and responsibility
ladder ??? These are some questions I think other poeple would do consider
to ask themselves. I hope somebody might answer these questions as if there
is a chance to become a business analyst or anyother high profile job to
justify one's self to be working on a management level position.
