Personal Assistant Answered 84 Questions About What It’s Like To Work For Billionaires
There’s no such thing as a ‘perfect’ job. There are always going to be upsides and drawbacks in any career, no matter the field. So, the best that you can do is to look for meaningful, dignified, well-paid work with a healthy work-life balance. A job where you’re respected, have a positive impact on the world, and have room to grow professionally. Or, well, as close as you can get to this. Let’s not be naive; you’ll probably have to compromise on some of your priorities.
The same holds true for working as a personal assistant to billionaires. Obviously, it’s not going to be a dream job, even if the work sounds interesting and gives you access to the lives of the ultra-wealthy. It’s a question of looking at the list of pros and cons of the job and figuring out what you can live with.
For example, the pay might be good, but, as u/witchmarch pointed out, she has to be available at all times. If work-life balance matters more to you than your paycheck, this might not be the career path for you. On the flip side, if you’re a social butterfly and thrive in high-stress environments focused on hospitality, it might be an industry to consider.
