[techwr-l] RE: That raise and promotion

[LDurway -at- pav -dot- com]

If there's a chapter of the STC in your area, get the salary survey.  (If
you're not a member, join.)  The STC in my area (Austin) is very useful
because it gives salary stats broken down per various factors:  years of
experience, variety of responsibilities, size of writing group, and so on.
I always circle my subgroup in each chart & give copies to my boss & to HR,
thus providing them with a good idea of where my skills/pay fall in the
local market.  Of course, if the statistics indicate that your pay is way
above average for your skills/responsibility, you may not want to give
copies of the salary survey to your boss & HR....
