Okay, let’s tackle this. So Paula has 15+ years of experience as a project manager, which is a significant amount of time. Her education in Computer Science adds to her credibility. She’s working in Phoenix, Arizona, which is a relatively affordable location. However, considering her skills and experience, I would expect her to charge higher rates. Project managers with her level of experience typically charge between $100–$200 per hour. However, some top project managers can charge $250–$400 per hour. Let’s check averages. Project managers with her background might average $150–$250. So I’ll estimate around $175, but considering the location, I’ll round down to $125.
