This is a bit misleading.
It's not just, how many years of experience, which industry you work in and
where the company is located. It's also what you've been doing during your
career.
What types of content did you produce? Which technical writing challenges
have you dealt with?
Off the top of my head, you've got agile, content management, localization,
UX.
How has your content helped reduce customer support calls?
Have you had any impact on your company's product?
These are all very important parameters that help determine your value, and
the post completely neglects this.
