@haleyreidtay: What it’s like to be an EA and how to get into it 💻 #executiveassistant #executiveassistantlife #ea #jobtips #careeradvice #careergrowth #fyp
This career can honestly be a nightmare and there’s no work life balance and can be easily replaced with AI. I’m happy you love it, but I wouldn’t suggest people getting into this career field because it won’t be around in the next 5-10 years. Also a lot of C-suite execs are not nice from experience 😭.

How would you recommend jumping from personal assistant (ultra high net worth) to EA?

How would an EA eventually climb to chief of staff?

I was an EA for 4 years for an architecture firm and it while it was incredibly challenging it also taught me SO MUCH and I loved how every day was totally different.

I’ve been an EA for around 2 years, transitioned to this after teaching!! curious if you ever have to touch personal items. I support a CEO and feel like I’m alllll over the place in what I’m doing (social media, HR related tasks, marketing + personal items, calendar support, travel, creating decks etc.). I’m always curious what other EAs expectations are!! btw love following you :)

Omg HIIII! I’ve been an EA for 1 year now & I love it. I was previously in HR but took a leap of faith and it’s been the best decision for me

As someone who wants to make a career change, it would be so nice to hear this kind of information about sooo many roles. Are EA’s an in-office job?

An EA could literally ruin lives in an instant if they wanted to. They hold alllllll the real power 🤷🏻♀️

EA work is how the world spins. They are the true backbone! I very much dislike that work but I very much respect all of the EAs I run into!

Career EA here! 👋🏼 I’ve learned so much in so many different ways about business that I truly feel like I’m getting a mini MBA in this role. 😊

EA here and you’re spot on! It’s cliche but I always say I wear a bunch of different hats in my job but it’s why I love it. And who you support makes the world of difference in your job satisfaction. Another great perk is there’s EAs in all types of industries!

Transitioning to a CEO supporting EA/Strategic Business Partner is my dream job down the road. Currently an HRBP + talent role.

Former EA and chief of staff for 7 years. Love this. Early in my career I read that you have to be comfortable serving someone else to be an EA. Some people aren’t cool with that and that’s okay, but you won’t succeed in the role. Serving my execs was very rewarding so I loved it.
