Re: Salary for Technical Writer

Interesting question and I have no idea of the answer but would like to know how much the writer gets paid compared with the practitioner. Many engineers or scientist write their own technical reports and papers, so I would think that unless it is simply formatting and writing up, the rate should be pretty good if it requires domain knowledge...

Hi,

Just done a search for this, but couldn't find any hits for my specific question. I've looked at 3 salary generators and none of them list technical writer, or anything comparable, so I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me some guidelines. I've been offered a job as a Technical Writer in Basel in the life sciences area, a 60% position, but the salary seems very low, i.e less than I earnt in the UK although this was previously only a part of my job. Does anyone know of a salary generator where this job title is included or of the sort of range that goes along with this job.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Janey
