Okay, let’s tackle this. So Greg has a solid set of IT skills, but no explicit experience in high-demand areas like cloud computing or cybersecurity. His Six Sigma and ITIL certifications are valuable, but not as rare as some other certifications. Location is Kenosha, Wisconsin, which is a mid-sized city with a relatively low cost of living. According to national averages, IT professionals with similar skills in the Midwest might charge around $50–$100 per hour. Considering Greg’s experience and certifications, I’d estimate his rate to be around $75 per hour.
