I guess I should have specified that the positions I am interested in are
permanent. However, thanks to all who took the time to respond to my query.
Here are the results:
If you're a contractor, it varies between $45-70/hr depending on the
project. For an intermediate writer, expect between $50K-65K for a perm
position. But don't expect relocation or a signing bonus.
Thanks for providing me a realistic picture of what to expect!
And wish me luck on my interviews!!!!
:-)
