I don’t believe the EA role is fading. It IS changing, however. I would recommend expanding your skill set to project management, finance, HR...wherever your passion and talent lies...and start thinking about how you can enhance your role or start the pivot to a more hybrid kind of role.

The ea role is not fading.. it’s just accelerating. CoAsting in an ea role is no longer tolerated. You need to be innovative, creative and truly understand the business you are in and be able to think ahead and be proactive in taking on challenging projects for the teams you support. Other areas you can get into from an admin role are - hr, project management, resource management, recruiting..

Unless you work in the executive service center at Deloitte which is 90% mind numbing travel and expenses. The challenge comes in dealing with the ineffective management group that is over the ESC and all of the insane dramas that occur.

Former EA turned producer here! I use a ton of the same organizational skills and emotional intelligence. I’ve also had admin pals go into HR, recruiting, and project management.

I've applied and networked for my dream job and didn't get an interview this time. Also dissatisfied with compensation and some of the responsibilities at my current job but have a lot of opportunity to learn. So the question is do I stay where I'm not thrilled to be now because it's good experience to set me up for the dream job next time there's an opening, or do I leave now to an option that's better pay and more interesting but farther off the path towards my long term goal?

732 applications the last 11 months that doesn’t include since the start of the pandemic looking for work. Out of that only 117 have been viewed that’s 6% viewed! the hiring process is completely broken, human resources, managers, and hiring managers are not capable! The same jobs open for 2 1/2 yrs reposting salaries after interviewing 100 then cutting the salary by up to $50k They say can’t find people but they fire you in 90 days when your working 80 hours a week or people are walking!

In your honest opinion, do you think your HR certification was worth it? I personally think certifications are a scam. 😅

I rarely have been asked about my certs in interviews and I never ask about certs when I'm interviewing.

Looking for some WISDOM. 🙏🏻 I’m currently in strategy consulting and looking to transition into PM within tech.

For those that have done so:
1. How did you go about doing it?
2. Any insights/recommendations on making the switch?
3. Are there particular consulting skills that are highly valued for a PM role?

Any suggestions would be appreciative! :)
