Okay, let’s break it down. Eric has a broad skill set, including product marketing, leadership, and strategic planning. He’s in the Greater Chicago Area, which is a mid-sized market. Product marketing professionals with his level of experience and skill set typically charge around $100–$200 per hour. However, considering his leadership experience, I’ll estimate around $125 per hour. This is slightly below the national average for product marketing managers, who can charge $150–$250 per hour. Still, Eric’s skills and experience make him a competitive candidate in the market.
