Okay, let’s break this down. Jaren has a solid skill set in game development, sound design, and audio mixing. His proficiency in Pro Tools, Wwise, and Maya is also a plus. However, his experience and skills don’t quite match the highest-paying game development roles. He’s more of a mid-level game developer. Considering his skills and experience, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is on the lower end of the game development spectrum. This rate is more in line with what you’d expect for a junior or mid-level game developer in a smaller studio or indie game development. Some mid-level game developers in the US can earn upwards of $100-$150 per hour, but Jaren’s skill set and experience don’t quite justify that level of pay.
