Okay, let’s break it down. Roger Mark has 19 years of experience in event planning and related fields. His skills are in demand, but not extremely rare. Considering his experience and the fact that he’s working in San Diego, California, I’m estimating his hourly rate to be around $75. This is lower than what you’d expect for someone with his experience in a major city like San Diego, but it’s still a respectable rate for someone with his skill set and level of experience. It’s also worth noting that his experience in manufacturing engineering is not directly relevant to his current role, which is event planning. So, I’m not using that experience to inflate his rate.
