I am manic busy but I have made my role more than an EA

That’s amazing! True inspiration of what we all should be doing any way we can.

I was laid off in April. I wish people would stop asking me if I’ve found a job yet. There are no jobs. I think the days of EA’s being needed are gone. I’m trying to think of a career shift and don’t know what else I could do.

Ouch, asking if you found a job is insensitive and/or obtuse. Jobs are difficult to come by with hiring freezes, etc. If you can, volunteer to keep busy and reach out to unemployment offices in the area (the more affluent the town, the better I think). They offer training, skill building and I think these can be managed on-line. It's easier said than done though, so be vigilant about self-care.

I am a virtual EA and I’m still worried they won’t need me-no travel = no expenses and only so many meetings I can schedule...and I cover 12 partners

Everytime I think about work and how I can't even make a strong case for myself for a promotion I get upset. I'm literally pissed that I'm past a year mark and have yet to learn anything new since month 2. I've researched and taught myself as much as I could but many things are "learn on the job" type skills and so nothing. And yes, I've constantly asked throughout this entire year yet nothing has happened only promises that its coming soon or I'll be included in upcoming xyz.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?

Should one add their personal technology that are currently used for remote work on their resume? Seems most companies will provide the hardware and software needed. However, it’s unclear if the employer will provide this through Teamviewer/VPN connection or will send an actual computer. Along with this, would it be pertinent to add your internet capability (speed, fios/cable/satellite/dsl)?

Additional Posts in EAs / Executive Assistants

Anyone in here have general anxiety disorder and/or agoraphobia? I started having symptoms at the beginning of the pandemic 😞 I used to LOVE being in the office although I had the option to work remotely. Then I literally couldn’t be anywhere outside of my bedroom let alone my house. I’ve come a long way with therapy and meds and I’m trying to convince myself that I can look for on-site EA roles but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared.
