lol, haven't worked in a help desk since 2004....

Cool. Large or small company, or self-employed?

Fairly large company overall, but only 800ish work at the corporate HQ. I think the total employee count is around 60k between the US, Canada, and UK.

If I was a tech writer I'd want to strangle myself. Technical writing is not something I enjoy, I'm glad there's other people that do it so I can avoid it sometimes.

I don't exactly love the technical writing aspect of my job. If that's all I did all day long I would not be happy. I also train level 1 & 2 support staff internally, and travel all over the country (sometimes countries) to do hardware tear downs/installs/training in the field. I'm still relatively young with no family of my own so I absolutely love the traveling.

My last job was for a tiny (10 people) software company and they moved me from tech support to sales. I FUCKING HATE SALES. Tiny company, tiny pay, no benefits...it was terrible. I'll take technical writing all day long with a smile on my face over that piece of shit job I used to have.

Cool. My company is medium sized, 5k overall and 300 in the largest Canadian office, where I work. Most employees are in the US.

Tech Writing is nothing. Wait till you get to writing bid specifications. It's worse when you are in a state that does sub bids.

Canada, eh? I was just in Edmonton about a month ago and really enjoyed it. I still got made fun of from my accent, though. I'm from Minnesota so every time I go south they ask if I'm from Canada, then when I'm in Canada they're like, "You're from the south!!" I just don't fit in anywhere.
