ATA Compensation Survey: Deadline Extended to July 30, 2021

Dear SLD members,

Please remember to take the ATA Compensation Survey: the deadline was extended to July 30, 2021.

ATA is working with Dynamic Benchmarking, LLC, an independent firm specializing in association-related research, to conduct an industry-wide survey of compensation for translation and interpreting services. Dynamic Benchmarking is collecting the survey responses, thus ensuring your anonymity.

There is a need for a comprehensive picture of the market for translation and interpreting services. Your participation is essential to collecting sufficient data.

The survey results will be an invaluable resource for individuals as well as the industry itself. Not only will you be able to see how your earnings compare to colleagues working in your language pair and specialty, but ATA will also have the data necessary to lobby the U.S. Department of Labor to correct its T&I compensation statistics which currently do not adequately represent independent contractors.

Survey-takers who complete the survey will receive a copy of the results formatted to allow filtering by language and specialty. You will be able to easily compare your compensation for the years 2019 and 2020 to that of your colleagues.

Please complete the ATA SLD Professional Development Survey!

The SLD Professional Development survey is live until December 31, 2020! We encourage all ATA SLD members to take a few minutes to complete it as soon as possible.

Our Division needs to know more about you, your preferred modes of learning, and your CPD wants and needs in order to serve you better.

The survey will be available through the end of the year, closing on December 31. But we can’t wait to hear from you, so please don’t delay your response! 🙂

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or just want to vent about professional development, feel free to email our SLD administrator at eugenia@sokolskayatranslations.com.

We’re excited to find out more about the diverse group of people that constitute our membership and welcome all your feedback!

Tell SLD about Your Professional Development Needs!

The SLD Professional Development survey is live! SLD members, please help us organize more useful professional development offerings by telling us what you want and need. The more we know about you – your background, experience, development goals, modes of learning – the more useful the division will be to you.

The survey will be available through the end of the year, closing on December 31. But don’t wait! Nobody wants to be stuck doing a survey at the last minute instead of enjoying the holidays. Completing the survey should not take more than 10 minutes of your time.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or just want to vent about professional development, feel free to email your SLD administrator (that’s me!) at eugenia@sokolskayatranslations.com. We’re excited to find out more about the diverse group of people that constitute our membership and welcome all your feedback!
