Okay, let’s tackle this. So Cathy has a broad skill set with experience in management consulting, analytics, and business strategy. She’s worked with startups and SaaS companies, which are in demand. Location is Washington, D.C., which is a hub for consulting and tech. According to Glassdoor, management consultants in the D.C. area can earn $80–$150 per hour. Considering her skills and experience, I’d estimate her rate to be around $150 per hour, on the higher end of the range.
