Okay, let’s tackle this. So Keith Lawrence has 30 years of experience as a Systems Admin, which is a long time. The location is Greater St. Louis, which is a mid-sized market. According to various sources, IT administrators with similar experience in the Midwest can charge between $50–$100 per hour. Considering his tenure and the fact that he’s been with the same company, Buckeye International, for over 30 years, I’ll estimate his hourly rate to be on the lower end of that range, around $75 per hour.
