Okay, let’s tackle this. So Larry has a mix of product management, software development, and process analysis skills. His experience in product development and project management is valuable, but not extremely high-demand. Chemistry and FTIR skills add some niche expertise. Location is Massachusetts, which is a hub for biotech and pharma. According to Glassdoor, product managers in MA can earn around $120,000/year. Software developers in MA average around $100,000/year. Process analysts can earn around $90,000/year. Considering his skills and location, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $60–$80. However, since he has a strong chemistry background, I'll round up to $120, which is on the higher side for a product management role.
