[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a stealthy amazing job at big companies. At public companies EA’s for VPs and up can easily clear $300K. Much more if it’s c-suite. Ignore the poster talking about appearance - that’s super outdated. Yea you need to look professional but many of these jobs are 100% remote now anyways. [/quote]

Not as 20-30 something’s though. The high level EAs all have 2 decades of work experience. [/quote]

SIL is 30 and clears $350K as an EA at a NYC hedge fund. My EA at my old Series A startup made $200K and I think she worked 5 hours/week max.

Times have changed.  [/quote]

I am the PP and I work in HFs/PEs, the reason they are paid high is bc EAs in hedge funds also handle payroll, office admin in addition to support executives. They also approves IT inventory such as who gets a new phone or iPad. One of the small cheap HF even had their EA draft legal docs for the general counsel. They have a much larger role than traditional EA at a F500.

If you want to be the executive support EA only and make that much you are likely very very experienced.[/quote]

I’m a c suite EA and make $150,000. I’m 47 and have been doing this since early 20s. Admin assistants starting out will likely make 50-60 k[/quote]

You’re underpaid if you are FT and this is a large company or HF/PE/big law etc - startup founders pay their EAs more cash comp than that with 10-15 less YOE. You should pull some comp benchmarks together and ask for a raise. [/quote]

Do you hire EAs? What makes you think I'm underpaid? [/quote]
