Free YouTube Premiere · Monday, June 1st at 7AM EST

Most EAs don't have a clear picture of
what the EA salary market actually looks like.

Not because the information doesn't exist, but because reliable EA market data has never been easy to find. Job posts show you what's public. Recruiter calls reflect what they place. None of it tells you how the market for strategic EAs actually works.

This conversation with Alicia Fairclough, Founder of EA How To, and Yvette Lamb, Founder of The Admin Wrap, the women behind the EA Salary Survey, the only independent compensation data built by assistants, for assistants, with no recruiter filter and no employer agenda, is where that picture starts to come into focus.

When you have a clearer view of the market, you make better decisions. About your current role, the opportunities worth pursuing, and how you show up for what you want next.

What's inside the conversation

The numbers most EAs never see

This isn't a general career talk. Alicia and Yvette went into the data — the actual findings from thousands of EA survey responses — and what came out was more surprising than most people expect.

01
The real salary ceiling — and why it's higher than the data shows
The number most people quote is not the full picture — and the reason it's lower than reality has everything to do with who does and doesn't fill out surveys. Watch to understand what the data is actually telling you.
02
The remote-work finding that contradicts everything
There is one finding in this data that is the direct opposite of what most people in this profession assume. It has to do with where and how you work — and it will change how you think about your next negotiation.
03
What actually predicts high pay — and what doesn't
The factors most EAs assume drive high compensation — years of experience, company size, advanced degrees — don't show up meaningfully in the data. What does? You may not expect it.
04
The perception gap that predicts who quits
The data revealed a striking pattern about who stays and who leaves — and actual salary had almost nothing to do with it. The real driver is something far more subtle, and far more within your control.
05
Why recruiter and employer salary data can't be trusted
Every existing salary source — recruiter averages, employer benchmarks, published surveys — has an agenda that shapes the numbers. Alicia and Yvette explain exactly how, and why this data is different.
📊
While you wait — fill out the 2026 Survey
The EA Salary Survey is open now and collecting responses for 2026. It's the only compensation data in this profession built by EAs, not consultants — and the more assistants who participate, the more accurate the picture becomes for everyone. You'll receive the survey link in your confirmation email.
