Are Technical Writers recognizaton in Software Firms

yes

We couldn't arrive at a conclusion in this topic, since it involves a lot other factors too. It is not the matter of concern, whether the person with particular skill is important for the organization or not. It is highly the responsibility of the particular person to prove his/her performance and make the management feel that their service is very much needed for the organization's growth.

This crisis has given us a lot of lessons. People from many domains are moved out of the company by the name of layoff. But how far they have given their max performance is always a question. These kind of layoffs should motivate each and everyone to give better performance, rather than blaming the market and recession.

And i think it is always better to specialize in a particular domain, like Telecom, Semiconductor, etc and build the career with a focus, than to be very conventional, which will always take us higher n higher.

Technical writers are recognized based on their domain (Telecom, Retail, Finance) expertise and knowledge. With the growing IT challenge and demand, technical writers in Semiconductor Industry, Research Centers etc., collaborate and work close with SME's and Knowledge Guru's.
