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.
>>In Atlanta, the city is practically run by Coca-Cola...
and subsequently made a lot of good points about valuing yourself and
your
work appropriately.
Having lived and written in Atlanta for 16 years, I would, however,
disagree
about Coke running the place. There are a lot of other large companies
who hire writers (including ones in which I worked and hired writers),
and
while I occasionally had to have a heart-to-heart with a newbie writer
about
salary expectations, the STC chapter there was pretty good about helping
folks know what was reasonable. Enough informal mentoring occurs that
I believe writers have a good idea on hourly and salaried market rates.
