Okay, let’s calculate this. So Chris has 10 months of experience as Co-Branch Manager at Mutual of Omaha Mortgage. He has a broad set of skills, including business development, IT strategy, management, and marketing. Location is Meridian, Idaho, which is a mid-sized city. Industry is financial services, which tends to have a stable compensation structure. Considering his experience level and skills, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly below average for a financial services professional with similar experience. Some industry benchmarks suggest that Co-Branch Managers in the financial services sector can earn between $100-$200 per hour, so I’m being conservative with my estimate.
