For instance, in Latin America, there is a 3:1 ratio of UX writers to content designers. In continental Europe, more than 55% are UX writers while content designers are only about 18%.

For example, UX writers, content strategists, and content designers tend to be product-focused, while technical writers, content writers, copywriters, and digital marketers spend less time writing product copy. So, do writers who work \u201cin-product\u201d make more than those who don\u2019t?\u00a0<\/p><p>Yes, but not by much! Globally, the median salary for product-focused writers is about 68K, while for non-product-focused writers it\u2019s 62K. In the USA, the medians are 120K to 90K, and most other countries showed similar trends. So while product writers are making a bit more, pretty much all writers working in tech are doing well.\u00a0<\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udcbb Good news for the gender gap<\/span><\/h2><p>Like last year, we didn\u2019t find evidence that women make less than men in UX writing\u2014in fact, they make a bit more: internationally, women make a median salary of $67,811, while men make $62,000.<\/p><p>It varies by country, but among countries with enough respondents, there were no major discrepancies. For example, in Canada, men made slightly more at 72K to 70.5K men\/women, while in Sweden, it was about 58K to 54K women\/men.\u00a0<\/p><p>And again like last year, women were much more strongly represented in our survey: about a 3:1 ratio of women to men among writers in tech. Other responses, including non-binary, gender-fluid, trans, and more made up a bit less than 1%. Median incomes for these responses tended to be in line with female and male incomes.<\/p><p>Looks like women are thriving as writers in tech companies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e99ba36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e99ba36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"800\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-female-1024x634.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-24639\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-female-1024x634.png 1024w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-female-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-female-768x475.png 768w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-female-1536x951.png 1536w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-female-400x248.png 400w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-female-150x93.png 150w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-female.png 1538w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Percentage of respondents by gender<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48fb224 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48fb224\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udc76\ud83d\udc75Compensation increases with age and experience, and seniority counts<\/span><\/h2><p>Think Gen Z is getting the highest pay in tech?

However, in some countries, the gap isn\u2019t huge. In the US, all but junior roles and interns make over $100,000. And junior roles make $75,000\u2026nothing to sneeze at. The UK is similar, but slightly lower across the board.
