Okay, let’s tackle this. So David Bauer has 15 years of experience in IT, which is a solid amount of time to develop skills. He’s got a CompTIA Security+ and Cisco CCNA, which are industry-recognized certifications. Location is Greater Milwaukee, which is a mid-sized market. IT professionals with his experience and certifications typically charge between $75-$150 per hour. However, considering the cost of living in Milwaukee, I’d estimate his rate to be on the lower side of that range. Maybe around $125 per hour, which is a reasonable estimate for someone with his skills and experience in this market.
