Okay, let’s break it down. Jose has a strong background in electrical engineering, particularly in power generation and distribution. His skills in negotiation, international sales, and sales management are also valuable. Given his location in Denton, Texas, and the industry demand for electrical engineers with these skills, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125. This falls within the range of $100–$150 per hour for electrical engineers with similar experience and skills in the United States. His language proficiency also adds to his value, but it doesn’t significantly impact the hourly rate in this case.
