Okay, let’s tackle this. So Austin Schadt has experience as a Marketing Director, which is a common role in the industry. According to national averages, Marketing Directors with similar experience can earn between $80,000 to $150,000 per year. Considering his role in Phoenix, Arizona, which is a relatively affordable city, I'll estimate his hourly rate to be on the lower end of this range. Let’s assume an average salary of $110,000 per year, and then calculate the hourly rate: $110,000 / 2,080 hours (assuming a 40-hour workweek) = $52.38 per hour. However, since this is a director-level position, I'll round up to $120 per hour, which is a reasonable estimate for a Marketing Director with similar experience and skills.
