I work in Nj at a pharmaceutical company and have been there for the past 4 years supporting a VP and currently at 77k a year and it’s not enough. Going to start interviewing elsewhere and want to get an idea of what starting salaries you all are at and what I should ask for. Any advice ?

I'm not an EA currently but I've been applying quite a bit to switch into an EA role & I've seen a lot ranging from $80-$130k depending on the company & how many C-level executives are being supported by the role. Seems like the higher level your main priority is, or the more high level people you support, the more $$$.

Updating my original comment ** I am now deeper into interview rounds with a few places. I've held a part-time EA position for a year now but that is my only direct prior EA experience apart from all of my various administrative heavy experiences overall. I'm coming from a really low place being where I am right now so I quoted both places between $70-$80k after being given their budgets and that was well received despite being on their higher end! Given your prior experience & the level you're currently at, I'd start asking for $100k min.

I’m at j&j supporting senior directors and their teams and at 77k. Supporting a VP you should definitely be making more. If you want to chat about j&j/Janssen specifically I’d be glad to connect!

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
