Firstly, thank you so much for this bl...Hi there, <br /><br />Firstly, thank you so much for this blog. My colleages and I find it comforting and insightful. Lots of great stuff on here! I have a question regarding EA position as a lifelong CAREER. In looking around the office (large private equity firm based in NYC) I see an ocean of 30 something EAs - but relatively none older than that. (Perhaps one or two exceptions). I really enjoy my job, my colleages, our sector - have a fullfilling creative life after hours - and find a great work/life balance in this role. Is it delusional to conceive of this as a life long career? I have an Masters in Creative Writing - and use that degree for outside interests. What are your thougths? I feel the expectation or reaction is always "Why are you just an EA? You're smarter than that." However, it's painfully clear that most EAs I encounter are incredibly intelligent and well educated. There's also a fear of job security, as historically "secretaries" are over-sexualized (thus the younger demographic) and lack job security. I'd appreciate any insights you may have. Thank you!
