Okay, let’s tackle this. So Babak has 17 years of experience as an architect, which is a moderate level of experience. His skills in interior design, automotive, and auto parts are not in high demand. He also has 37 years of experience as a soldier, which is a very long time. However, his current role at ideal home and EE is not specified, and his salary is not provided. Considering his experience and skills, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is a relatively low rate for an architect with his experience. Some architects in the US can charge $100-$200 per hour, but Babak's unique combination of experience and skills makes this estimate lower.
