Why Romania-Based EAs Choose DonnaPro
You'll Earn More Than You Think
Let’s talk money. Because it matters.
€1,400 net per month.
That’s what lands in your Romanian bank account. Every month. No deductions. No surprises.
To put that in perspective:
- The average administrative salary in Romania? Around €1,090 net.
- You'll be earning €300+ more per month than most admin professionals in Romania.
- That's €3,700 extra annually for doing work you'll actually enjoy.
Guaranteed Monthly Income (Not Commission-Based)
Here’s another important difference: DonnaPro pays a fixed monthly salary from day one.
Most EA agencies pay per client or take a percentage of what the client pays. That means:
- No income while onboarding
- Severely reduced pay with only 1-2 clients
- Constant stress about sales cycles and client churn outside your control
At DonnaPro: You get your full €1,400 net salary every month, even if you’re supporting 0, 1, or 2 clients. Your income is stable and predictable – not tied to factors you can’t control.
But it doesn’t stop there:
- Performance bonuses if you're in the top 20 EAs
- Referral bonuses of €500 when you bring another A-player to the team
- Client referral bonuses of up to €2,000 when you bring a client to DonnaPro
- Fast-track career growth into Quality Manager, Team Lead, or Operations roles
According to DonnaPro’s internal data, Romanian EAs supporting multiple executives save their clients 60+ hours monthly while earning significantly above local market rates-a win-win that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Work From Anywhere in Romania (Yes, Really Anywhere)
Bucharest apartment? Perfect.
Cluj café? Great.
Your parents’ house in Brașov while enjoying the mountains? Absolutely.
As long as you’ve got:
- Fast, stable internet (fiber is your friend)
- A quiet space for video calls
- Availability during core hours (09:00-15:00 CET)
…you can work from wherever makes sense for your life.
No commute. No office politics. No pretending to look busy.
Just results.
Real Career Growth (Not Fake Promises)
For those who are career-driven or want to earn more money, there are clear pathways to increase your earnings and gain recognition within the Executive Assistant role itself. Many of our top performers have expanded their client portfolios, taken on more strategic projects, or received performance-based bonuses – all while remaining in EA positions they genuinely enjoy.
That said, if you’re someone who wants to pursue roles beyond executive assistance, those opportunities can exist. Some team members have transitioned into positions like Quality Manager, Team Lead, Operations Manager, or Account Manager. However, these roles come with different demands – more meetings, less deep work, different stress profiles. They’re not automatically “better,” just different. Many of our most satisfied and highest-earning team members have chosen to stay in EA roles because they prefer the work itself.
Growth happens through performance, not tenure. Your trajectory depends entirely on what you deliver and what you genuinely want from your career.
You'll Actually Have Work-Life Balance
No “family” culture that guilt-trips you into weekend work.
No Slack messages at 23:00 expecting immediate responses.
No glorification of burnout.
We build systems that protect your time:
- Core hours: 09:00-15:00 CET for client availability, with flexibility around this window
- Deep work blocks: Protected time daily where you can focus without constant interruptions
- Boundary monitoring: Quality Managers actively watch for signs of scope creep or unreasonable demands
- Structural support: When workload becomes unsustainable, we adjust - it's not on you to "manage up" alone
According to DonnaPro’s retention data, team members with protected boundaries stay significantly longer than those in “always-on” cultures. We’re not interested in burning you out – we want you here for years, getting better and earning more.
What You'll Actually Do (The Real Work)
Forget the corporate job description nonsense. Here’s what supporting a CEO actually looks like day-to-day:
Calendar & Communication Management:
- Triage emails down to what actually matters for your client
- Coordinate meetings across 4+ time zones without conflicts
- Draft correspondence that sounds like your executive wrote it
- Manage relationships with investors, clients, and board members
Travel & Logistics:
- Plan international trips with backup plans for backup plans
- Coordinate last-minute changes without breaking a sweat
- Manage expense reports and budget tracking
- Handle the details so executives can focus on closing deals
Strategic Project Coordination:
- Own complex initiatives from start to finish
- Coordinate teams across departments and countries
- Track progress, flag risks, and solve problems before they escalate
- Keep executives informed without overwhelming them
Proactive Problem-Solving:
- Anticipate needs before they're articulated
- Create systems that prevent chaos
- Make judgment calls on priorities
- Own your decisions and learn from mistakes
You’re not executing tasks. You’re enabling executive effectiveness.
Big difference.
