Okay, let’s tackle this. So Mayo has 13 years of experience in government, which is a bit lower than what I’d expect for someone with his skills. However, he’s in a more administrative role now, which typically pays less than a hands-on management position. His experience in program management, budgeting, and project planning are valuable, but not extremely rare. Considering his location in Marysville, California, and his government background, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is on the lower end of the scale for someone with his experience and skills. Some government professionals with similar experience might average $100-$150 per hour, but Mayo’s role and location put him at the lower end of that range.
