I recently left my job managing a global documentation team in the US (2 locations), India and Armenia to become the tech pubs manager/sole tech writer for a small, 60-person startup. Long term the plan is to grow the team (though probably not to anywhere near the 25 people of my largest management position to date). This is the fourth time I've started a new company's tech pubs group from zero (as opposed to taking over an existing group, which I did once and ended up regretting it). Life is good for the next year or two, then we'll see where we are as far as VC funding vs. profitability go.
