[{"id": "iv69dvc", "text": "I had a job that could have been described similarly and accepted $65k for about 20 hours a week, although I was on call most of the time. I only was willing to do that because I was succeeding the owner of the business when he retired, which would have netted me several hundred a year going forward. My situation was probably too specific and unusual to be a good comparison, though.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "iv6btdo", "text": "Let me put this into perspective for you. You can be hired as a teller at a bank earning 20-25 per hour. 40k-50k and all you have to do is handle transactions. That's not including sales bonuses you get. \n\nYou want a property manager, project manager and assistant for $60k?", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "iv6e8jw", "text": "You\u2019re asking for another you minus some duties. You expect someone to do the work and not have any of the upside? A normal exec assistant in a HCOL area makes six figures easy, and they\u2019re typically not doing extra tasks like you mentioned. Even if you manage to convince someone to take this role, which will happen eventually if you keep interviewing, they\u2019ll leave in a year or two when they have experience leaving you more work on boarding, training, and finding a cadence with the new assistant.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
