Hey Edsters,
Let’s talk about this money issue for a hot second.
I’m so glad that Ed chose to publish an article about it, because I really had
no idea what the typical EA salary was, besides, well, the bare minimum.
Thank you, Ed, for defining the bare minimum. The line that
struck me the most in the article was that some temp EA’s get paid the legal
minimum wage (lower than any Starbucks worker I know!), followed up by the
slightly less shocking fact that Condé Nast brings up the rear in average EA
salaries with a piddly $27,500.
The article goes on to mention some sort of taboo about
sharing salaries. What taboo? Who wouldn’t want to share and compare their
salaries with their fellow workers? I went back and reread the article about a
week after it was published, expecting the Ed-sphere to be BLOWING UP with
commentary about all this.
