Okay, let’s tackle this. So Ben Schaefbauer has 15+ years of experience in IT, which is a solid foundation. He has a Master of Science in Information Systems, which adds value. IT project managers with his level of experience in the Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area typically charge between $75-$150 per hour. Considering his technical leadership skills, I’ll estimate around $125 per hour, which is slightly below the average for IT project managers in this area.
