As you are job hunting, think hard about if you want to temp, freelance, do contract work, temp-to-hire, or direct hire roles only and under which circumstance.

I'm pushed pretty far in terms of capacity on most days - one extra board meeting or event can result in a spiral of 60 hour weeks. EA work is typically admin work - phones, travels, calendars, expense reports, mtgs/luncheons, etc. Would hate to pass up this leadership opportunity if it could mean progression for me in the future.

We also get a mini break when our boss is traveling as the stress level is generally lower and we can catch up on our workload.
