Okay, let’s calculate. Lee has a broad set of skills in management consulting, business analytics, and strategy. He’s also experienced in program management and governance. Location is Greater Philadelphia, which is a mid-sized market. Consulting rates can vary widely depending on experience, skills, and location. For a mid-level consultant with a broad skill set, I’d estimate around $100–$150 per hour. Considering Lee’s experience and skills, I’ll place him in the mid-range. Some senior consultants in Philadelphia might charge $200–$250 per hour, but Lee’s not there yet. Let’s aim for $125 per hour.
