Okay, let’s tackle this. So El Tester Sdl has been working at SDL plc for 64 years, which is an extremely long time. Typically, testers with this level of experience can charge higher rates. However, considering his age and the fact that he has been in the same role for most of his life, his rate might be lower than average. I'll consider this a highly experienced tester, but not necessarily in high demand. I'll look at average tester rates in the US. According to data, average hourly rates for testers in the US range from $25 to $50. Considering El's experience, I'll estimate his rate to be on the lower end of this range, around $45 per hour.
