Okay, let’s tackle this. So Julian has skills in retail, luxury goods, fashion, and visual merchandising. He’s also got experience in sales management, customer service, and store operations. Location is New York, which is a hub for retail and luxury goods. Considering his skills and location, I’m estimating an hourly rate of $75. This is on the lower end of the scale, but it’s a conservative estimate based on the skills and experience listed. Some retail professionals in this field might charge more, but $75 seems reasonable for someone just starting out or looking to get their foot in the door.
