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 1997, at the height of the dot-com, I left a company that was
one of those "leading company in a hot field that everyone dreams
about working for" places to go to a smaller company in a totally
different and not considered "hot" field. Took a $3000 pay cut,
too. To this day, I still think it was one of the best moves I ever
made. The number on your paycheck is not the sole determinant
of what constitutes a "good job."
Well, to be honest, the only times I took a pay cut when switching
jobs (voluntarily or not) was when going to lower cost of living areas
from higher cost of living areas. And, the difference in pay has
always been an "increase" once all factors have been weighed.
