5 Pros and 5 Cons Of Being An Executive Assistant - Should You Make The Career Change? 

Funnily enough, everyone is really nice to me coz they know one word from me to the boss and they’re goners. 😏

Another con would be the lack of career advancement. Being an EA is kind of a dead-end role and the work can be super overwhelming and underpaying considering all the work that you have to do. I worked as an EA for two years during college and the experience made me never want to go back again.

Have you ever thought of being a personal EA to a multi-billionaire who would treat you as the special person you are? Billionaires are looking for top notch intelligent people to manage their properties, vehicles, meetings, problems, service appointments, etc. Pay would be twice what you are currently making, plus a luxury car / suv, and possibly a place of residence if you become someone they can't survive without.

Thanks for your wisdom and vulnerability in sharing, Sarah! Your video deserves to reach more people.👏👏👏

Executive assistant (pros & cons) 1,con- people are gonna talk down to you 2,con-everyone will tell you what to do 3,con-people will try and take advantage of you (treated poorly){in certain cases you can say no} 4,con-there is a big work flow and little growth 5,con-high stress 6,pro- work hours are stable 7,pro -it's a salary job(depends on the company){doesn’t go by the hour} 8.pro -always learning 9.pro-you get to know everyone in the company 10.you are kept in the know of your company (you will know more)

The last point is of great benefit. I've been an EA for 5Months and I confirm it.

This was helpful and so accurate. Thank you!

Hello Sarah, thanks for sharing as it really means a lot to meee and yeah wish me luck as I'll have my interview with CFO (Chief Financial Officer) soon and yeah lookin' forward into this position, once again thanks much Sarah✨

Could you recommend a good short online administrative assistant courses? That could give someone who is starting out an introduction to the field

Thank you for making this video, I’m doing the same thing, thinking of making the career change, mostoly because of the stable schedule.

I worked as a front desk supervisor and I honestly loved it, but there was no money in it lol. I am applying for EA positions, I am excited

so, you said for the title as executive assistant you don't need a degree, but how much experience do you need to get this role

I used to be an EA myself in the government. I learn a lot but I am transition back from the government to the private

Hi Sarah. I’ve been a Management Assistant in an engineering department for 1 year and a half. I can agree with everything you are saying!! They treat me very well and I’m never spoken down to. Thank goodness for that. Your job duties sound like my job duties. By the end of the week I am stressed out. Thank you for this video

I am about to have a job like this. Could you tell me around how much money should I Accept?

I would say that at least in the healthcare systems I've worked for, in order to apply for an EA position you must have a master's degree or a bachelor's and 10+ years of experience.

This was super helpful. I’ve been applying as a chemist to get out the lab ( no real promotion and feeling stuck).

Can you share tips on staying organized and just overall good in the role? Thanks!!
