Great question. I don’t see the traditional EA model dying any time soon. The need for operational and even strategically minded EAs at the highest c suite levels is greater than even. A virtual or even AI (artificial intelligence) assistant model won’t cut it.
Agree with the above. I know of one virtual EA to a CEO, but she wasn’t virtual before he took this new position. It seems to work out fine for them, but given his constant travel, even if she was based in the HQ, she’d still be ‘virtual’.
Tech, VC, law firms & boutique accounting firms seem to still value the traditional EA, but Big 4 Accounting is definitely moving towards going completely virtual.
Yes, I work for a Big Four and they are definitely trying to remove as many on site EAs as possible.
