Okay, let’s tackle this. So Omar has a mix of.Net and web services skills, which are in demand. However, his education at Maharishi International University is not well-known, which might affect his earning potential. Location is Plano, Texas, which is not a major tech hub, so rates might be lower than in San Francisco or New York. Considering his skills, I’ll look at average rates for.Net developers in the US. According to Glassdoor, average hourly rates for.Net developers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area (where Plano is located) are around $100-$150 per hour. Since Omar has some additional skills like SQL and web services, I’ll bump it up to $125 per hour, which is still on the lower side of the average rate.
