Great content as always. I have a few questions. 1. How much experience/views you may need to become a full time technical writer? 2. When you wrote the docs for Raise, did you need to write codes to understand stuff the before writing the docs? 3. How hard it is to crack technical writer job?
Thank you Saad. 1. I would say 6 months of relatively regular writing. If some of your articles get popular - that helps. 2. Yes - but it's not expected to write codes. I did to understand the domain better myself. 3. Hard - especially coming from a development background (and not from a writing background). You have to make the jobs come to you. So constantly putting articles on different mediums to get noticed - then writing some guest/sponsored posts - and once you have a good track record - it should get easier.
