Okay, let’s tackle this. So Van Younger has a diverse skill set, but he’s not a software engineer or a financial analyst. He’s in sales and operations, which is a different ball game. I’d compare him to sales professionals or operations managers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for sales managers in the United States is around $123,000. However, this is a senior role. For Van’s level of experience and skills, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be around $50-$75. Considering his location in Lexington, Kentucky, which is a smaller market, I’d adjust the rate downward. Maybe around $100 per hour, which is a rough estimate.
