The Write the Docs survey team is now hard at work processing the results and producing the report. When it’s finished, it will be announced in our newsletter, on LinkedIn and in our Slack community.

This annual survey, run by the Write the Docs community, aims to gather data about salaries for people working in documentation and related fields around the world. 

We hope that this data can help our community members determine appropriate salary ranges, provide a benchmark for negotiations, and inform employment-related decision-making.

Write the Docs is a global community of people who care about documentation. We currently:

• publish a monthly email newsletter
• have a Slack network with thousands of participants
• run conferences on four continents
• host meetups in over 40 cities

We encourage everyone working in areas related to documentation to complete this survey, no matter what country you live in, what level of skill or experience you possess, or what industry you operate in.

The questions are for people of all employment types: full-time or part-time, permanent or contract, employee or freelance/self-employed – or any combination thereof.

Sign up to the Write the Docs newsletter to get updates about all things WTD, including the salary survey.
