Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

OCTOBER 29, 2010

I would like to get better assignments, promoted, or get a raise before a few more years go by. It’s such a shame that there aren’t more managers who are good mentors that help each individual grow and learn more in their roles.

I'm so glad I found your blog. 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 also thought about money, salary negotiation, and how I was spending my time. I volunteer, I read a lot, I write this blog, I sleep a lot and have a lot of fun.
