I have a friend who is an EA and has worked for many of the biggest names in Silicon Valley. She makes well over 6 figures and she loves her position. Her employers value her greatly, so she was able to command very good compensation packages including stock options, etc.

Yes the problem is my wife is not in silicon valley and although she makes plenty of money (6 figures or so) she is tired of not having a more important role. She has effectively been type-casted.

She is important, otherwise the executive wouldn't keep her even by blocking her from promotion. Six figure salary is very decent. I suggest she ask for a pay rise, if she isn't happy, but she is important.
