Disliking doing admin work. Currently making $160k at 15 years of experience. If I wanted to transition to doing more PA work, should I expect a big pay cut and if so, why?
The industry standard for job titles is pretty lose. At 15 years experience a lot of places you’ll find yourself doing more paperwork as a PA than you might like. Seems pretty typical to the industry that if you’re working in a real PA vs PM role then you’ll end up taking a marginal pay cut, but you might not. Why? Pretty straightforward interpolation, a lot of firms value the management more than the architecture. One would presume you could figure this out pretty easily as a PM… what are your firm’s typical billing rates? If the PM is higher than the PA, they are probably getting paid more.

PM to PA Transition

BB , what kind of admin works are we talking about ? A monthly report on site activities / writing meeting minutes/agenda? … just curious
Allocations, reporting, monitoring, etc.
