All other terms and conditions are accepted but just the pay rate given to me is the real issue to me.

Personal Assistant in Addis Ababa:

March 2021
Friday = Half Day.
Personal Assistant in Cape Town:
Pros: Cape Town people are usually known to be quiet chilled and most of the time the companies take on the smart/ casual vibe as well. It’s not unusual to see a CEO/ MD/Manger wearing jeans, sneakers and a shirt to work instead of the usual collar & tie.
Come Friday afternoons in summer most offices are deserted from 2pm because everyone has knocked off early to sip on a cocktail while enjoying out magnificent views and taking in the fresh sea air.
Cons: Captions can be very clicky at times and this can make it a tad bit difficult if you aren’t the outspoken, vibrant type.
Salaries are generally lower than JHB

Pros: they try to accurately match client with P.A.
