Help! What hourly rate should I give for a 8-month contract with EY as a Research Lead? I have a PhD with 10+ years experience. I’m not interested in benefits and won’t have PTO as I’d get paid hourly. Also is it better to give a range or single figure? TIA!

Easy minimum of $150

What people are quoting above are consulting rates, which are different from market rates. I can find a researcher in the open market for anywhere between $50-$100 per hour in my city. Anything more would be for exceptions. I would bill this resource to the client for $150-$200/hr. Hope this helps.

300/hr to start the negotiations

Op- Ignore MD1, you can find researchers yes but it all depends on your niche. Don’t let him bamboozle you. Be careful to negotiate at the right stage is my only advice.

You should get $200 per hour in your hand.

When I was at EY we charged the client $350 to $500 based on the practice. So you deserve $200 as you are not an employee.

As someone who has worked with Deloitte approved external contractors, your rate can easily be $150. Do not give a range.
