In many companies, how much they can fill it is based on what your title is. Therefore, it IS tied, and you DO care. Where I am now, every year, about 45 days after our yearly evaluation, my manager receives a range, within which he is authorized to give a raise. If you are "Technical Writer", your range is lower than if your title is "Senior Technical Writer". I don't care if, as a Technical Writer, your writing is going into the Smithsonian, you cannot make as much, maximum, as the maximum for someone designated "Senior Technical Writer". Titles really do make a difference, no matter how glib we want to be about the answer. John Posada Senior Technical Writer "I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is." ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
