Okay, let’s tackle this. So Shagun has skills like merchandising, inventory management, and visual merchandising, which are in demand in the retail industry. She has a certification from APICS Supply Chain Council, which adds credibility. Location is Wellesley, Massachusetts, which is a hub for retail and apparel companies. Considering her skills and certification, I’m estimating her hourly rate to be around $75, which is below average for retail professionals with similar skills but above average for those without certifications or in non-core locations. Some retail managers with similar skills might charge $100–$150 per hour, but Shagun’s certification and experience bring her rate more in line with $75.
