Re: Salary for Technical Writer

Hi!

I think this is too low for the job, the location, your experience and the industry.

Here is a gret link from the Swiss federal institute of statistics
http://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/portal/e...h_branche.html


... this is based on the real taxation and not on some data collected from volunteers on the web. So it is the real deal... a great flash map... I played around with it for half a day when I first found it and you can find out lots of stuff:
- your salary depends heavily on the region
- women are not treated equally (I guessed so, but not to the extend shown here)
- foreigners are first cheated and after some years their salaries get closer and closer to the locals... very interesting...

Have fun and find out what you really should earn ;-)

Cheers,

Chris
