Honestly … redo your resume (I paid to have mine done and it was the best 170$ I have ever spent) and just apply to EA roles! Don’t overthink it!! But also, don’t get so hung up on the title of EA, I have applied to “Admin Assistant” roles that are paying 100k base. It’s really about your skills , your personality, willingness to learn and of course, more $ lol!
Remember, no1 is going to advocate for you better than YOU!

Omg share who you used to redo your resume. That’s amazing!

I agree with the above comment! My experience as an EA has made me realize how ambiguous titles can be. Read the job descriptions carefully to get an understanding of the role. Two EA’s can have totally different responsibilities depending on the company!

Would be interested to read other comments. Indeed sometimes titles don’t add up but curious to read how to make a real transition in skills to a more impactful function (EA or whatever the title is)

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
