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.
Hmmm... if they offered more money than you asked for, then either:
a) you seriously under-valued yourself during salary negotiations;
b) They believed they were in competition for your skills;
c) They were just being nice (I doubt that)
When I first got into tech writing I committed a) - by about 1/3rd of my
market value!
I'll take a pint o' Guinness, thanks.
