Yuval Keshtcherm who founded the UX Writing Hub website, talks about UX writer compensation.
Many people are asking how much they should charge. What responsibilities they should have.
Responsibility = money. UX writer responsibilities include proofreading, writing, style guides, research, technology, and tools.
In a recent UX writing salary survey, highest in U.S. UX writers do not earn as much as UX designers. In U.S., average a bit more than 6 figures. Companies do not understand all the responsibilities and therefore undervalue UX writers. In the U.S., salaries average around $75K for junior level up to almost $125K for senior level.
UX writing is a 6 figure job. So how do you get more? Ask!
Actions you can take include:
- Invite yourself to product meetings
- Build your own research processes
- Learn to work with data
- Publish relevant content
- Communicate what you do
As a final word, our job is to design inclusive systems. "Design for all."
