Okay, let’s calculate Monty’s rate. He has a strong set of skills including PMP, PMO, program management, and vendor management, which are in demand. His experience as a Project Manager at Verizon adds to his credibility. However, his location in Herriman, Utah, is a smaller market compared to major cities like New York or San Francisco. According to national averages, project managers with similar skills can charge between $100-$200 per hour. Considering the cost of living in Utah, I’d estimate Monty’s hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly below the national average.
