Okay, let’s calculate Sandra’s rate. She has 15+ years of experience in IT, which is a significant amount of time. Her expertise in network administration, cybersecurity, and IT project management is also valuable. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for IT project managers in the US is around $142,000. However, this doesn’t directly translate to an hourly rate. Considering her experience and skills, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly lower than the national average. This is because she’s not a senior manager or a consultant, but rather an IT professional with a strong background in project management and network administration.
