The fact they still call them secretaries in the UK it’s pretty sad

But aren't we secretaries? Am just trying to understand what is wrong with "secretary"
Some EAs even get offended when you refer to them as "paraproffessionals"

funny

Or executive concierges! Secretary is ok with me.

EA’s in Europe do not function the same as in the US. Different office culture. The European ones I know still deliver coffee to their partners, etc. Also, we use EYHELP3 for IT support. In Europe they get hands-on IT support. Again, different office cultures. And I wouldn’t be worried about things beyond your control. Roll with the punches. If you worked for any time for a big four firm, you can find a job anywhere.

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?

Does anyone else struggle when communicating with their exec? Mine is someone who you need to ask lots of questions to because they change their minds every second but then they don’t respond when I ask.

It’s so hard to be a good EA when you can’t make decisions on your own.
