I really love it! I’m from engineering background so the pay isn’t comparable but the work life balance is awesome, you’re always learning new latest features, and there’s currently so much demand! It’s also one of the few roles that I’ve seen with older people which says a lot in the tech industry which has so much ageism.
I like my job now. I've been in positions where I loved my job. It depends on your team, if you have one, and your immediate manager. Some will give you clear expectations, and some will just wave vaguely at a project and say "Er...go document that" and you have to design your own goals and approach for that documentation. It's always a fun crap shoot, and depending on the system they have you working in (I see you, Paligo), you'll always be learning something new.
And then there's the product itself. Lol.

The workload/stress level is medium. It all depends on the product you work on and how forthcoming dev teams are with info. The pay scale varies but a quick Google search and you can find the averages for your level.
