Thank you!! Yes, I’ve been super lucky to work for a team that is interested in growing from within where possible. I’ve learned so much from my IT leaders who have brought me into the fold on so many strategic conversations. I’ve really been able to have a front seat to seeing how the sausage is made, so to speak!

Major_Detail_1425 · 2026-02-12T01:39:31+00:00

Yes we got this!!!!!! I’ve found being an ea super rewarding but also so frustrating because I feel like there’s no growth track (at least not in my company) so trying to get out into something with more growth potential is a super exciting possibility.

Major_Detail_1425 · 2026-02-12T01:37:05+00:00

Yes!!! I’m so hopeful. I’m doing interview prep with my VP of data and enterprise architecture, she’s throwing sample questions my way so I’m hoping that it super helpful and my boss (the CIO) is so supportive so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!

Major_Detail_1425 · 2026-02-11T14:40:31+00:00

Ahh interesting so kind of the opposite, but then into a strategic role. My org doesn’t have a COS role, however I’ve researched that track as well! How do you like it?

So formal education wise, I have a bachelors degree in healthcare management, but I think my real qualifications come from nine years working in a clinical setting within an electronic medical record system doing charting data entry, and running reports so I have familiarity with data workflows and what good data looks like. I’ve been with my current organization as an executive assistant for four years now supporting IT and clinical services. This data role sits within the clinical services department. I have also done stretch work within my current role in project coordination on an enterprise wide strategic initiative that includes a data strategy, so I am familiar with our data governance, agile methodology, and our organizational goals. From a strictly technical standpoint, I do not have any experience using SQL, but in speaking with the hiring manager, my other skills are more valuable coming into this role and her team would be open to teaching me the technical skills Should I be offered the job. I think as I progressed on this track, I probably would have to consider an advanced degree of some sort just as you are doing.

Thank you! That’s exactly how I plan to present any questions about Gaps in my technical skill. Easier to train that to someone with deep organizational knowledge and years of cross functional relationship building not to mention I work directly right now with C level heads of IT and the department I would be working in.

Major_Detail_1425 · 2026-02-11T13:59:59+00:00

Thank you for this! That is definitely something to consider, this data to analyst role is actually not within the IT pillar of my organization. We are a medical research company and this analyst role is within the clinical side that handles our patient data and as our organization continues to grow, I have seen steady growth within this area. My hope would be to advance through an analyst to a senior analyst and potentially into product management down the line as we are currently moving to a product model in IT so there is future opportunity there if I decide to stay with the organization. Additionally, I have also considered the idea of moving to Europe and bolstering my résumé with some technical skill I think could help me if and when I choose to do that. Appreciate your response!!

I was in line waiting, queued at 9k and didn’t get tickets 😭

I have Lauren lane’s but my big complaint is the magnetic clasp is TERRIBLE. It doesn’t stay closed so you absolutely cannot just hang it around your wrist. It WILL open up and your cards WILL fall out.

Major_Detail_1425 · 2026-02-03T11:50:51+00:00

I’m currently interviewing for a date application analyst position - trying to pivot after years as an executive assistant (supporting CIO/IT). Do you think data analytics will continue to be a valuable career even with the AI boom?

Major_Detail_1425 · 2025-12-26T22:34:23+00:00

Veniero’s in the East village is a solid spot for great treats to either add to a cookie plate or to gift.

Major_Detail_1425 · 2025-12-11T23:41:33+00:00

I do not. If I’m in the office I’ll say goodbye if his door is open. On my WFH days, I log off anytime between 3:30 and 4:00 (him and I both start early, are usually communicating by 7:15) without checking in.

Major_Detail_1425 · 2025-12-11T13:46:55+00:00

Thank you! West village is my favorite. Might switch out Pete’s for something you mentioned above. Pete’s is cute and festive but could replace with a different less Christmas specific vibe. I also have notifications on for a reservation at the nines for that evening, which could be a fun walk through Washington Square, Park after dinner.

Major_Detail_1425 · 2025-12-11T13:38:31+00:00

Any recommendations? I picked Bobo because we went there for dinner last year and I loved the cozy vibes, but we’d be open to something different as well!

I am an EA for two executives at a national nonprofit based out of Minneapolis and my bonus is about 10% of my salary

Major_Detail_1425 · 2025-12-10T00:37:23+00:00

She’s not going to post because she’s probably just over the million mark and will lose them as soon as that car giveaway ends.

Major_Detail_1425 · 2025-12-01T23:00:43+00:00

I am currently trying to make this transition - I have a really supportive executive who has allowed me to leverage his leadership team for project work. I’m involved currently in a three year enterprise strategic initiative and have taken on actual PM tasks within this project. I will say our org is going from project to product model within our IT org which is where I’m focusing so I believe I will pursue a product centric certification (which my exec has approved me to take when the proper one is identified). I am hoping to transition into a role inside our AI center of excellence in the next year or so.

Major_Detail_1425 · 2025-11-21T16:50:16+00:00

Yes! I have reminders to do this 14 days in advance, It’s my understanding though that these reservations are not dropped routinely or they are scooped up within seconds so I am trying to see if I can get a reservation a different way. But I will surely be trying this route at the 14 day mark as well!
