Actually on the Conde Nast careers site: four days ago they posted a job opening to be :Anna Wintour’s assistant.

It’s hard to imagine after watching “The Devil Wears Prada” that anyone wants this position. Listed requirements don’t mention no sleep, no life, ability to dry clean at home, and absorb abuse. Also must always have eyeglass cloth at the ready for the shades.

Salary is $60,000 to $80.000. Sounds low to live in Manhattan, but you’re living in the office so rent is free!

Also available at Conde Nast: Editor in chief of Bon Appetit and Epicurious. Salary is between $250,000 and $350,000. Every single predecessor has been guillotined at some point. Background: Fencing.
