Okay, let’s calculate this. Lea has a broad skill set, including HR, recruiting, leadership, and event planning. Her experience in the Greater Burlington Area suggests a moderate cost of living. According to national averages, HR professionals with similar skills in the US can charge between $40-$100 per hour. Considering Lea’s expertise and location, I’ll estimate her rate to be around $80 per hour, which is slightly below the national average. This is because her skill set is quite broad, and she may not specialize in a specific area, which can impact her earning potential.
