Would you be willing to work for $53,000 a year? Doesn't that sound pretty low? I've been looking for a job for two months so I'm tempted to take it, but I've never worked as an EA for anything less than $65,000 a year.

I guess it does seem a little on the low side of things. However, like you said, you've been looking for work for months. The job market is rough. I say take this offer and keep looking if you think you're being underpaid.

Depends on how many years experience you have and what city/area you are in. If that’s in NYC or Boston, then I would say that’s low unless it’s a job right out of college.

No. But if i had no job, any job would be better than no job.

I don't know how anyone can survive on that no matter where you live.
