I’m starting to feel burned out in the traditional Executive Assistant role and am curious what career paths people have moved into from here. My background is in executive support, office management, and operations-type work. I enjoy organizing systems, coordinating across teams, and problem solving, but I’d like something with more ownership and growth long term. What roles have others transitioned into?

Is it normal to receive such large monetary awards? I think 50~100 is acceptable
