Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

SEPTEMBER 11, 2012

I have heard of EAs working for successful international corporations and earning a very large salary. If you’ve decided you want to be an EA or have a career that leads to a great salary, it all starts with growth. The goal is to go from a busy role to one that is absolutely crazy insane busy and stressful to prove you can do it.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

JUNE 11, 2014

I make an incredible salary so when I tell my husband and friends I want to explore other avenues, they think I'm crazy. I knew I didn’t want to job hunt for more than 6-9 months if I didn’t have to. And as I was working, job hunting and/or temping, I had to find other sources of happiness. So keep that in mind.

FEBRUARY 3, 2012

I am very happy with my position, responsibilities, opportunity for learning and the support from all my colleagues and managers, but there is always the idea of greener pastures and higher salaries lingering in the back of my mind. A 20% increase in salary seems too good to pass up. Thank you for being a loyal reader!
