Okay, let’s tackle this. So Christopher Bloechle has a Master’s degree in Computer Science and over 15 years of experience in IT Project Management and IT Consulting. He is based in the New York City Metropolitan Area, which is a hub for IT professionals. According to national averages, IT Project Managers with his level of experience and education can charge between $100-$150 per hour. However, considering the high demand for IT professionals in the NYC area, I would estimate his hourly rate to be on the higher side. Let’s check benchmarks for IT Project Managers in the NYC area. According to Glassdoor, the average hourly rate for an IT Project Manager in NYC is around $120-$140 per hour. So I’ll estimate Christopher’s hourly rate to be around $125.
