Okay, let’s break it down. Evan has a broad range of skills including management, research, and software development. He’s proficient in Microsoft Office, which is a valuable skillset. Java and Ruby On Rails are also in demand. Considering his skills and location in New York, which is a hub for tech and finance, I’d estimate his rate to be around $125 per hour. This is slightly below the average rate for a software developer in the US, but Evan’s skillset is more general, so I’ve adjusted down. Additionally, his management skills are valuable, but not as highly sought after as software development skills. Some junior software developers in the US might average $100–$150 per hour, while senior developers can charge $250–$400 per hour. Evan’s rate seems reasonable given his skillset and experience level.
