Real talk? You're already doing work worth $125K+. You're managing budgets, coordinating executives, building systems, running the day to dayβ all while they pay you $60K-$85K and act like you should be grateful. And every "career coach" tells you the same thing: "Build your skills! Get certified! Prove your worth!" Funk that. You don't need MORE skills. You don't need MORE time you don't have. You don't need to spend money you shouldn't have to spend. You need to uncover your invisible leverage. Here's what nobody tells you: Your company has a training budget. And most of it goes unused. That's rightβ the same company that "doesn't have budget" for a $20K raise has literal line items for professional development that expire every year. What if you could get your EA Career Accelerator coaching paid for by the job that's currently underpaying you? Two ways this plays out: Option 1: Get the coaching for free
Option 2: Get the raise AND the coaching
Either way, a win is a win! And here's the best part: You don't even have to ask permission for Option 1. Most companies let you submit receipts for professional development and reimburse you. Or they have a portal where you request it. Or they have a "training budget" your manager doesn't even track. I'll send you a PDF you can send your manager if you want to do it the official route. (subject line already written, email template included, professional AF). But honestly? A lot of y'all can just expense it and move on with your life. Your company is going to spend that training budget on someone. Why not you? But I get it. You want to go by the book. Just reply "SEND IT" and I'll send you: β The corporate training request PDF (makes EA Career Accelerator look like the professional development it actually is) β Email template to send your manager β Early access to EA Career Accelerator enrollment (opens next week) You've been making their lives easier for years. Time to make YOURS easier, Christina Torresβ β P.S. If your company won't invest $997 in your development but expects you to run their entire department flawlessly, that tells you everything you need to know. Take the training, get the skills, and go somewhere that will pay you properly.

Listen Reader, "Detail-oriented team player with strong communication skills" is on every EA resume. And no one with that resume is getting paid the big bucks. I review a lot of EA resumes. About 90% of them say some version of the same thing: "Detail-oriented professional" "Strong organizational skills" "Excellent communication" "Team player" "Ability to multitask" These things might be true. They're also an ATS (applicant tracking system and AI's grandpa) dream. And look, you probably ARE...
When they ask "Tell me about yourself," you think they want your resume timeline. They don't. When they ask "Why did you leave your last role?" you think they want the truth. They don't. (Not all of it, anyway.) When they ask "What's your salary range?" you think they want a number. They absolutely do. But the wrong number costs you $15K-$25K before you even start. Here's the problemo: You're answering the literal question. But interviewers are asking something completely different...
"I'm passionate about supporting others" is the fastest way to stay underpaid. I know that sounds eff'd up. But hear me out. When you say you're "passionate about supporting others," what a hiring managers hear is: "I will accept less money because I find fulfillment in the work itself." And listen I get it. You probably ARE good at supporting people. You probably DO get satisfaction from making your exec's life easier, from solving problems, from being the person everyone can count on....
