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!

Hell yeah

Was 50k at BCG. New job somewhere else at 75k this year. 50% increase with 4 YOE. I should have left BCG earlier 🙄. Just like what bcg1 stated.

I’m more interested in offers for new candidates, not existing employees

I recently moved from an virtual EA role at a big 4 to a similar role (permanent teleworker) at a smaller firm and received a 6.6% boost in pay

What is the pay if you don’t mind my asking?

Actively looking for a new position for over a year; honestly, no notable difference in salaries compared to pre-pandemic. And in some, much less than I’d expect.

KPMG 1 I imagine it’s harder the more experience you have while associate salaries increase. I have <5 years and have been asking for 80-90k in NYC and it’s in line with *most* recruiters I’ve spoken to. No full time offer but I did get a contract for $40/hr

I’m in the DMV area and just received an offer for 87k with a company that does not offer a cost of living adjustment. However, I also found with this company I’m generally out of the salary band for the highest level EA role which makes growing salary after acceptance a challenge. At another company with COL adjustments, mid salary range was 84,500 in 2020 so there was still ample opportunity to grow in the role from a salary perspective

like

I’m in defense and aerospace sector and I’ve noticed depending on the home location of a role the salary is different. Some companies refer to this as a cost of living adjustment, so if the position is based in the dc metro area where cost of living is super high, the salary range for these roles is higher than say the same position in southern maryland st Mary’s county where the cost of living is much lower. Or if we compare the exact same roles between dc metro area and Florida, the salary ranges will vary drastically due to cost of living. I’ve actually rarely seen this approach not used by most companies I’ve interviewed with even outside the defense and aerospace sector. Look what some of the tech companies did with their now fully remote employees this past year: if the employees went fully remote and relocated to a lower cost of living area, the companies actually reduced their existing salaries. This was a big point of controversy. However, the employees made comments in some articles saying the amount they saved moving away from silicone valley made the salary decrease still worth it. I have not run into a company yet that is taking the approach of reducing salaries of already hired employees, but I have seen the discrepancies based on the home location of the job (I.e. Florida versus DC metro as I mentioned above)

I took a job late last year in Atlanta at $75k. 5ish years of experience as an EA specifically. Most of the other jobs I interviewed for during that time were offering more like $65k.

I’d say this was a standout position offering more than the standard. I think it’s been stagnant here for quite some time unless you’re at one of the top companies.

2 companies I was a finalist. In ny metro. 10 y experience. 100k at both.
