Market Report and EA Salary Survey 2026
In-depth salary, bonus and pension data, broken down by sector across the investment and professional services sectors
Business support is not one market. An EA at a hedge fund, a family office or an investment bank works in a different environment, with different expectations, different pay, and different bonus structures. A single market average can’t capture that, which makes it hard to know whether your EA compensation is competitive.
That is why our market report and salary survey is built around the type of firm, so you can benchmark against the businesses you actually compete with for talent.
Each sector in the report has its own dedicated salary, bonus and pension data. Including private equity and venture capital, hedge funds, and investment banking.
This makes the report far more useful for benchmarking internally. You can see how your pay, bonus structure and pension contributions measure up for your own type of firm.
