Okay, let’s tackle this. So Michael Fabian has 8 years of experience as a financial analyst, which is a solid amount of time to develop skills. He also holds an MBA from Columbia Business School, which is a reputable institution. Investment banking and financial modeling are in-demand skills, especially in New York. According to Glassdoor, financial analysts with similar experience and education can earn around $125,000 per year. Considering the cost of living in New York, let’s adjust that to an hourly rate. Assuming a 40-hour workweek and 52 weeks per year, that’s around $250 per hour. However, this is just a rough estimate. To be on the safe side, I’ll round down to $200 per hour.
