Working as a technical writer in New York
Finance, media, adtech and a large startup scene. Compensation is high and so is cost of living, so the number that matters is what remains after rent and state and city tax — New York City levies its own income tax on top of the state's.
Most of the hiring in this list clusters around Manhattan, Brooklyn tech triangle and Hudson Yards. Location on a posting is not always literal — check whether a role is genuinely on site, and whether "remote" means remote within the country or remote from anywhere, because the two are priced differently.

Technical Writer pay and hiring, asked properly
What salary can a technical writer expect?
In India, roughly 5–12 LPA at mid-level and 15–28 LPA senior, with API and developer documentation above general product writing. The US band is about $70,000–$110,000, the UK £35,000–£60,000. Writers who work in the codebase rather than alongside it earn noticeably more.
Do I need to be able to code?
For developer documentation, enough to read the code and run the examples yourself — otherwise you are transcribing what engineers tell you and the errors go straight through. Docs-as-code is now standard, so Git, Markdown and a static site generator are practical requirements rather than nice-to-haves.
What should a portfolio contain?
A page of real documentation you wrote, ideally with the before and after. Rewriting a confusing open-source README and linking both versions is the single most effective portfolio piece in this field, because it demonstrates the judgement rather than describing it.
