Research before you speak

Find three to five comparable remote EA roles and note the published ranges. Anchor on the role, its scope and its time zone requirements — not on what you earned locally.

Give a range with a reason

'Based on the scope of executive support, calendar ownership and the overlap hours required, I am targeting a range of X to Y.' A reasoned range invites discussion; a bare number invites a discount.

Negotiate the whole package

Payment currency and method, review cycle, paid time off, equipment stipend, and internet allowance all matter in a remote engagement. Get every agreed item in writing before you start.
