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.
In determining pay scales, employers don't use trade-association (aka STC)
data for obvious reasons.
Employers rely upon BLR (www.blr.com) and MRA for independent-research
results in determining pay, particularly by geographic location (state) and
industry and/or nature of business.
