It depends on the company. I specifically looked for one that promoted job development opportunities. They are very encouraging where I'm at and if there's another area you want to get involved in, they will help you get there. Typical companies, AA to EA is a progression, sometimes office manager. Chief of Staff is another easily transferable path if it's an option.

depending on company ladder - you can move up to a Sr. AA to EA and possibly COS role if they exist at the company

You can go very far up the ladder. It's completely up to you if u want to further your education and express talent in your role.
