How This Rate is Calculated

Okay, let’s tackle this. So Robert has 30+ years of experience in sustainability and operations management, which is a great combination. He has worked in various roles, including consulting, management, and leadership. Location is Skokie, Illinois, which is in the Midwest, where the cost of living is generally lower than on the coasts. Industry demand for sustainability experts is high, but the market is also relatively saturated. Considering his experience and education, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly below the national average for sustainability experts in the US. However, his extensive experience and leadership roles in the industry could justify a higher rate, maybe up to $175 per hour. But based on the data, I’m sticking with $125.
