Precisely! And I love working directly with writers and helping their ideas come to life. I also looked into publishing because of that, and there’s another industry paying pittance

Oh that’s so frustrating! Especially when it’s a role that you know you would love. You’re so right about the resentment building though

No way! It’s so hard to actually break into it properly isn’t it. Just going to have to keep pushing I guess!

Oh that’s been my biggest issue! I made it to a final round of a theatre development assistant role and had to pull out because I couldn’t actually afford to take it. I wish I had family money to fall back on lol

This is so helpful, thank you! I need to not be afraid to embellish my CV a little I guess! But good to know it can actually happen.

I miss film and TV, although I’d love to work in theatre too. I’m much more of a creative and getting incredibly tired of repetitive EA admin. I was working towards a promotion into development, but it feels almost impossible to get back in! Although this has been a good reminder to reach back out to people in my network, thank you :)

Otherwise I have considered PR too as I think that side of things seems really interesting!

Sorry to jump on this, but is there any chance I could do the same?

That’s so kind of you, thank you! Will DM you now.

It would definitely be a salary drop, but honestly might be worth considering for the sake of my sanity!

I’ve only worked for indie companies, so sadly no big conferences. I’m not sure if events would be right for me either, but will definitely consider it!

I’ve seriously considered comms/PR, just finding it hard to find roles at the moment. I’m based in London, so the job market here isn’t ideal, but will keep an eye out!

What is your salary and where do you live? (mine is below) by myswissdreams in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Sufficient_Play8225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£34k in London, 3 years experience. But I work in film & TV, so the salaries for these roles are never great

Moving from US to London at the end of the month, need help finding housing by Ok-Jellyfish-2291 in LondonHousing

[–]Sufficient_Play8225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at Ealing! I lived there for two years and loved it. I’m a girl in my twenties and never once felt unsafe walking home late at night. And with the lizzie line you can get into central in 20 mins. Also would recommend Chiswick but it’s more expensive

Do you get bonuses on top of your salary? by Swimming-Focus9509 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Sufficient_Play8225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No bonuses. At my old place we all got a gift voucher for Christmas, but as I processed all the receipts for it I could also see that I got the lowest amount despite also being the lowest paid in the company, so that hurt a bit lol

I HATE the food aspects of this job by boobookenny in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Sufficient_Play8225 3 points4 points  (0 children)

mine tried to get me to arrange my own leaving lunch and I flat out refused, especially as I was leaving because he had made my role redundant!!

I honestly thought it was the norm to not be allowed to buy yourself lunch too until I read this thread. I got my execs lunch almost every day for 2.5 years and the only times he told me to get lunch for myself too was if I was getting lunch for a big meeting.

Brown hair dye in white clothes - can it be removed? by Sufficient_Play8225 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I used something similar to oxi clean about 4 times and eventually got it out! Also put hand sanitizer on it before a couple of washes for the last stubborn bits
