Yeah, I am getting tired of all the offers I get at $375,000.00 a year. When
are employers going to start paying me what I deserve - $500,000,000.00 a year.
I also want a horde of small gnomes to follow me around and massage me while I
work!
Sorry gang - outside of the Bay Area, New York, Boston and a few other huge
metro areas - tech writing tops out at $65K a year. There are exceptions if
you are really strong with programming or web development - but thank your
stars if you can command $65K.
So tell your friend to chomp down 50K and be happy.
