If given these two options which one would you choose? Support one executive with intense needs or support two executives with lighter day to day demands.

Lighter!

Depends on the package that came with each option; the temperament of the executives involved (if known), the culture of the companies, etc. Intense needs with a good package; being valued, respected, and compensated; in a culture that collaborates and celebrates all its employees vs two executives who are Jekyll and Hyde with constant mind games, in a company that churns and doesn't care about you or your position---no brainer, sign me up for intense needs that appreciates me in every sense of the world than toxic from the first breathe they take till the last every day of the week!

I’ve heard salaries have gone up quite a bit in the midst of the pandemic and I’m wondering if this is true for EAs as well. There’s a myriad of data online about EA salaries depending on age/experience but I’m interested in salaries from jobs accepted in 2020/2021 specifically!

Please feel free to share:

- Your salary from any job accepted in 2020/2021
- Any offers you may have received but rejected
- Your length of experience

Thank you!
