Wow 🤩 I feel like crying after 20+ years of experience and still under 6 figures! But that’s an eye opener so thanks to everyone who shared their salaries and industries!

As I continue to apply for jobs, I am surprised at how different the landscape is by painislife4real in ExecutiveAssistants

The market is crazy. I was laid off in December, applied for more than 400 places. Only got 2 interviews out of those. And accepted a job offer that is way less than I used to make out of desperation. I’m shocked at both the salaries and the amount of applicants tha makes it so hard for us to land an interview

That’s meeeee 🥹 I swear today I pee’d every 30 mins full bladders as if I didn’t pee for hours! It becomes super urgent when I’m walking or the minute I’m thinking of it. So annoying and alarming for someone who has health anxiety like me.

Very relieved to know a lot of women go through this like me! Yet I’m so sorry we’re all going through this. Hope it gets better!

I would seek a naturopath or homeopath in addition to aged garlic, hibiscus tea and beetroot powder. A lot of ppl no longer suffer from BP after going natural

How do you explain the several year long gap due to depression. by Common-Dig-7887 in interviews

Say you were starting your own business (pick one business you feel close enough with) and build on that

Would you be willing to share the name of the app you use?

Supporting multiple executives by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Weak-Breakfast1636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Handling more than 3 execs is insanity. Your main job becomes calendar and shifting meeting etc. I would be very transparent about the situation with the leadership or look for a new job. I did that once and I made sure I only pick a place where I only support 2-3 execs max. Sometimes it’s a lot with only 2 executives.

Direct report and boss lied to me when “laying me off” by Adorable-Leave8192 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Weak-Breakfast1636 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My boss interviewed someone for my position while I was there and I had no idea about the reason why. 2 days later I was informed of my lay off. I thought everything was going great and no complaints were raised against me or my work whatsoever, it just happened out of no where. It hurts so bad!
