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.
Did someone recently post a message about a salary survey that is being
conducted? I can't get access to the archives, so I apologize for this. If
I'm not dreaming, would someone please repost the URL associated with that
survey?
The reason I'm asking is that my salary blows the curve on the salary survey
results I've seen bandied about in the past few days. If my coworkers and I
put our salaries into some of these surveys, maybe the averages will go up
in our area and some of the woefully underpaid writers will be better
compensated.
Of course, I'll have to work here for a few more years before my average
annual earnings over my career approaches the survey average . . .
Thanks in advance!
Beth
P.S. I'll let you know when we're hiring.
