Check out PwC’s Talent Exchange or MBO. But probably $170-250?

Depends on the skill set. I don’t think too many clients hire independents for strategy; but tend to for PMO or technical skills.

As an independent consultant you will lose the bargaining power and may not be able to charge as much as McK.
One thing I have heard is to maintain your exiting income, the hourly rate = existing income * 2 / 2000.

$260/hr seems optimistic based on some of the other $150-$200/hr comments.

Wouldn’t you know given you’re at MBB?

$150 -200 / hour realistically in the current market to be competitive. If you know someone high up and have a niche skill, may be able to ask for more. Independent rate has dropped like a rock from I have heard. Basic supply and demand.

$1500/day is what I’ve heard.

Well you can get clients yourself if you have built solid relationships with your clients and have a personal brand to back it
