Can anyone from the San Diego/Southern California area share their salary as an Executive Assistant? I’m moving onto the salary negotiation with a potential employer and want to make sure what I ask for is fair.

I have 10 yrs experience as an EA in Los Angeles. Am making 115k + 10% annual bonus. Great benefits incl Fridays off and $320/mo stipend for child/pet care/office supplies/gym/wellness costs.

And am fully remote. Huge perk!

98k fully remote in Finance within top 50 of Fortune 500, no bonus, OT eligible, supports only one senior leader directly, LA/OC, 15 years experience, 8 of those years as an EA at Fortune 500 companies, no degree, full benefits, went from 82k to 98k in less than 3 years at current place.

Tech is the way to go to make more money as an EA. I’m getting poached for jobs with a total comp of 125k to 143k but I don’t want to give up being remote nor do I want to give up the great work life balance that I have. Boss and my admin team are awesome too.

The EA/Admin profession used to be a gateway for many people to get their foot in the door and grow into different career paths. For most organizations this is no longer the case. Do you see EA’s/Admins growing into different roles within your orgs? If so, what paths are taken? What steps are taken to get there? What I’d like to learn is whether our profession still has the capability to be a doorway or if others are seeing the same things I am; limited opportunities for development.
