Thank you so much! It never occurred to me to try this partime, and see if I enjoy it and if there's a practical fit, rather than risk diving into it full time.

Thank you so much! It never occurred to me to try this partime, and see if I enjoy it and if there's a practical fit, rather than risk diving into it full time. I'll email you.
Judging from the lack of response, do you think it's fair to say that not a whole lot of SWEs make the switch to Tech Writer?
-SS :)
- e1g 8y agoI’ve met only a few of SWEs who were good at documenting, and only 1-2 of them who also enjoy it. From my experience, changing from SWE to Tech Writer is highly unusual - I’ve seen QA and BA folks change over, but never SWE. Have you considered going into Developer Relations instead? It has a big overlap with Technical Writing, but spans beyond that to include community discussions and direct “support” comms.
