Okay, let’s tackle this. So Carol has 15+ years of experience as an IT project manager, which is a high-level role. She’s got a Master’s degree from Stanford, which is a top-tier university. IT project managers with her level of experience and education typically charge higher rates. According to Glassdoor, average salaries for IT project managers in San Francisco are around $140,000 per year. Considering her expertise in ITIL and Agile, she might command a premium. Maybe around $120–$180 per hour? But given her Stanford degree and experience, I’ll estimate around $125, which is slightly below the average but still reflective of her value.
