Okay, let’s tackle this. So Ellen has 40 years of experience as a Legislative Director, which is a senior-level position. Her industry is policy advocacy, which tends to pay less than private sector roles. Location is Washington, D.C., which is a hub for non-profit organizations and government agencies. However, considering her extensive experience and seniority, I would estimate her rate to be on the higher end of the non-profit sector. According to Glassdoor, Legislative Directors with similar experience in the non-profit sector in the D.C. area can earn around $120,000 - $150,000 per year. Since this is a long-term, full-time role, I'll estimate her hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly below the midpoint of the range.
