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.
How do you define "work out?" Length of job, congenial environment or...?
Having worked a lot of start-ups, I'm accustomed to jobs at new companies
not lasting much longer than two or three years (my "personal best" since
moving from engineering to technical writing has been five years), and it
doesn't seem to make any difference whether I decided to leave because the
bloom wore off the rose or because the roots rotted out from below and I
didn't recognize it in time (thankfully, that's only happened twice in 20
years).
