Has anyone been successful going from Admin at one company, to EA at another? Most EA roles I see require previous executive experience

Technically, yes. Though a previous AA job was just that in name. I was definitely an EA based on who I supported and the tasks I did. Whether my resume highlighting those or having a degree helped, I'm not sure. But I got many interviews and offers without having the EA title.
