Principal Technical Writer Reviews
What is it like working as a Principal Technical Writer?
August 2015
Lots of pride, lots of pressure.
Principal Technical Writer:
Pros: Very difficult, very technical and therefore very challenging job requiring deep knowledge of the company's products, our highly customized software + documentation build system, DocBook XML, and dozens of peripheral technologies.
Cons: 1000 pages of documentation to maintain and bring into the future; so little time.
July 2015
A Generous, Steady Income For An English Major.
Principal Technical Writer:
Pros: This job allows me to write every day and occasionally to design PDF books. I work with good, reasonable people and am compensated well for the work. Attention to detail is key to this work and satisfies the O.C.D. In all of us.
Cons: Only Your Portfolio Matters, Not Where You Went To School.
