Okay, let’s break it down. Chase has a strong skill set in penetration testing, network security, and programming languages like Python and Golang. His experience in vulnerability assessment and reverse engineering also adds value. Considering his skills and location (Eugene, OR), I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125. This is slightly below the national average for penetration testers and network security experts, but his programming skills and lack of experience in high-demand areas like cloud security or DevOps keep the rate relatively low. However, he can still command a premium for his services in the Pacific Northwest region.
