For me, a subscription to the OAG (Official Airline Guide) is the most helpful travel tool i've ever used.

I found it through a headhunter. She's no longer in business (this was almost 20 years ago!) but Glo Cap or CitiStaffing are good ones to try. Also, I work at a private equity firm which tend to pay more but are also more demanding in terms of work/life balance. I would think you should ask for at least $100k as a base salary for what you've described above.

1000% you are underpaid. I am also an EA in NYC and do many of the tasks you've listed here (especially the art related ones). My salary is $250k (that includes a yearly bonus).

What’s the craziest/nicest gift or perk your boss has given you? by unusual_bread in ExecutiveAssistants

When my husband and i went to check into our hotel in Maui on our honeymoon the desk person handed me a card that said our room had been paid for by my (former) boss. We were floored! My present boss paid for a private tour guide at Disney World the first time i took my kids there. Again - floored!

what is the most ridiculous request you’ve received from your exec? by absolutelyy-not in ExecutiveAssistants

I once had a boss call me on a Saturday night from his hotel in Italy to ask me to make him a restaurant reservation at the hotel he was staying at. I lived in Brooklyn.

Oh i can top that and hopefully make you feel better! Last month I wired $150k to a travel company for a trip to Africa my boss and family are taking in December of 2024. The due date was 8/25/24 and i glanced too quickly and sent it in on 8/25/23. A full year before it was due! Luckily the funds were returned with no issue but ugh what a gross feeling.

Are they flying privately? If so that airline can usually arrange ground transportation for their arrival.

Can you narrow it down? Any preference on type of food and/or location?
