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

That’s what I was going to suggest. Young, attractive, personable, has a driver’s license and car = a perfect fit.

We still have a few at my F500 corporation.
I think they make okay money. Definitely college grad money. Personality is very important. Only women. There are a few in their early 30s, most in their 50s. They have always worked for execs. Most now have 3-4 execs they support at a time. Director-level and up.
Lately I have seen some rotate into non-admin jobs like IT project management and come back to being an admin.

I had such a job as a man at a point int time early in my career. Extremely well paid, but the stress and poor health as a result was not worth it. These jobs are not easy..don't be fooled by the money. You can get similar money at lesser stress jobs.

I think you should stay out of it. People need to stop thinking they need to give advice to everyone. Unless you're being paid for your professional advice just say "Oh, interesting!"

+1 - high level execs are always going to want an actual assistant, not AI.

The prettier she is, the more likely she will get hired.
The prettier she is, the more likely the girl will leave her bf and become some rich guys squeeze.

She doesn’t particularly have any skills in this area, other than just being friendly personable and pretty.
Advice you would give him, if any?
My co doesn’t hire many admins these days. With tech, we are all mostly self sufficient
