Hello to all the amazing EAs in the Fish Bowl. I am just dropping in to check in on everyone. I know the world is challenging, so I wanted to let you know that I’m here for you, along with Ollie.

Can some of you experienced folk recommend some good books for rookies? What are your favorites for investment strategies, marketing, selling, etc.?

Anyone see a big discrepancy between GTMetrix and Page Speed Insights when testing the same site? Annoying to say the least.

Any one here from HCL Bangalore working DBS project as a L2 Enginner?

How do you navigate when you've already accepted an offer, but you get a better one? I'm supposed to start a new role tomorrow but got an offer for the job I really wanted, and it pays 50k more. Is it horrible if I quit while having just started?

Litigators—how many different cases are you on?

Been feeling spread too thin lately but I don’t know whats typical. Curious what others do. And would you mind sharing whether you’re a junior, midlevel, partner, etc??

I realize sheer number of cases doesn’t tell the whole story… obviously you can be buried on one massive case. I’m finding it hard to jump back and forth between everything I have going on right now, though, but I don’t know if the answer is to just deal with it.

Hey everybody! If anyone is interested in joining a rugby club(mens and womens leagues) let me know. We just kicked off the fall season. It’s a great way to make friends and get a really good workout in.

Are there any PayPal only bowls?

So, is it worth to leave Deloitte for a startup? Given that current CTC is 6 and startup is offering 16 in hand?

How many hours a week are you working? I’m generally clocking about 50-60 and I’m exhausted. I’m busy, but it’s mostly because no one I work with has any boundaries.

Is the EA role fading? What other roles can I transition to with 6 years of experiences as an EA?

Anyone know of the EA salary range and culture at Chime?

Any EA's share an exec with another EA ?(different time zones)
What's that like?

Do you find working remotely during this time that you’re having a harder time staying on top of everything that’s going on? With the scattered communication and a boss who hasn’t been as focused and can be hard to pin down, I sometimes think I’m giving 150% but something ends up lagging and I’m just wiped out. What are some of your tactics to avoid missed items and stay active and on top of everything through the Covid funk?

Hey guys. What are some of your favorite software/systems for customer relations and project management????

Hi all! Has anyone had any luck finding a new job during this pandemic? I'm afraid I am about to be officially let go (was furloughed) and would like to start sending out my resume. Does anyone know of agencies that are currently hiring EAs/admins?

Currently looking for remote global Executive Assistant roles. Is anyone hiring?

When I am looking at an email attachment in Outlook it shows the Google Chrome logo but when I open, it opens in Adobe which is what I want. Even though it is opening an Adobe, my boss would like it to show the Adobe icon instead of chrome next to the attachment… anyone know how to do this ?

How’s everyone holding up?

I finished up with final interviews on Monday. Is it a bad sign that I’m still waiting to hear back today? Don’t companies typically reach out almost immediately with an offer if they choose you?

I applied for a Executive Staff Assistant for Kaiser. The range for this position is from $36-42/hr. I’ve been doing Health Admin for 10yrs starting as AD in the AF. I’m also in a Master Program for HCA. Advice on if this is low in CA.

Would anyone in this bowl be interested in participating in live sessions? Perhaps tips and tricks, networking, interview tips, salary negotiation, etc. as topics…

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)

Does anyone have any suggestions for business writing courses?

Here we go again with interim review prep...are they kidding me??
