Okay, let’s calculate this. Catherine has 24 years of experience in merchandising, which is a significant amount. The luxury goods industry is known for paying its professionals well. In Singapore, the cost of living is relatively high, so salaries are also higher. Catherine’s role as a Merchandising Manager at Champion Europe Sourcing Asia Pte Ltd, a company in the sportswear and apparel industry, suggests she is in a high-demand field. Considering these factors, I estimate her hourly rate to be around $125, which is a reasonable rate for someone with her experience and expertise in a specialized field like merchandising in luxury goods.
