How This Rate is Calculated

Based on Raakesh's 20+ years of experience in sourcing and merchandising, his education, and location in Singapore, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $120. This is lower than the average rate for a sourcing and merchandising manager in Singapore, which is around $150-$200 per hour. However, considering his extensive experience and industry knowledge, I believe he can command a premium rate. Let's consider the average rate for a similar role in the textile industry, which is around $100-$150 per hour. Given his experience and qualifications, I estimate his rate to be on the higher end of this range, around $120 per hour.
