Okay, let’s break it down. Deborah has a broad range of IT skills, including Windows Server, Active Directory, and networking. She also has experience in project management and help desk support. Given her skills and the fact that she’s based in Baltimore, which is a mid-sized US city, her rate is likely to be lower than what you’d expect in a major hub like New York or San Francisco. However, considering her expertise in disaster recovery, which is a critical function, and her experience in managing projects, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be around $75, which is a reasonable rate for an IT professional with her skillset in a mid-sized US city.
