We know that the role of an EA, Office Manager, or Support Professional in the company differs daily and allows the development and increase of diversified skills and knowledge in often unrelated activities. By moving within the company, the expertise gains value and is a significant advantage.

However, this superpower's halo disappears if the game changes: knowing how and where to spend this knowledge in another function can be priceless.

The disadvantage of working in this field is that you continue to excel at work and at the same time get bored repeating the same things over and over, like in a hamster wheel.

Then you start thinking: what can I do?

1) staying in the company and trying to work out a career

2) change company or industry, proposing myself for a similar role or a higher position

3) become independent, working remotely or hybrid for the same company, and go to the market and look for new customers.

4) staying where you are and waiting for retirement

Understanding professional growth and how to achieve it can lead to advancement opportunities, higher salaries, or increased overall career satisfaction.

🎰Which of the options above puts everything you've achieved over the years at risk? And which one suits you?
