Developer-documentation roles pay more than marketing content work because the output sits in the product release path. The three level bands below apply a fixed multiplier to a country-adjusted reference, then narrow the range with level-specific spreads. What moves a technical writer offer up inside a band is API docs, developer docs and information architecture, and what moves it down is local comp quirks.
