I have been a recruiter for 10 years and I specialize in Exec Secretaries and Executive Assistants; finally pay has risen to where it should be!! I work in the exciting high-tech corridor of Northern VA and my average salaries for the past 18 months have been $45k to $53k. I work with tech and service based firms and rarely work in the law firm field. I would like to hear from other exec secy/assts to see if my clients are in the right ballpark!! If you know of any Exec Secys/Assts. groups or assoc. please let me know..this group is vital to the success of any Executive and they deserve the excellent pay they receive!!
