At what age as an EA did you marry, if at all? I find myself devoted to my career which leaves little time for a romantic relationship, especially during Covid. Hoping there is some balance to be found in this role!

You both need to find time together. My husband and I did a staycation at a hotel. We had a wonderful restaurant to dine wine and it was romantic and fabulous. Empty nesters and 25 years and counting. regardless how busy you are with your job, your marriage and your happiness as well as his is important to your success. Happy wife happy life. As my grandma always said if you don’t pay attention to him someone else will.

I'm 35, unmarried, but I've been with my boyfriend (sounds dumb at this age) for 18 years, living together for 15.

Oh I mostly meant calling him my boyfriend, when our relationship is old enough to vote, haha.

I was married before I became an EA. I did payroll before. But I can say our marriage ended and I am engaged right now but I literally have no life so it will be a very long time before I have time to get married. I am way too busy at my job.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am.

I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
