How much can I ask for per hour as a busy season contractor at a B4? Thinking about being done working FT and just grinding out a few months during busy seasons.

$60 last I checked a few years ago, so maybe $75 an hour now and 1.5x for over 40 hours

Ah sorry OP I misread senior manager as senior associate. I'd defer to the other commenter for a more relevant figure then.

At your level? Probably 159-200 per hr, we pay our contractors who are associate level $100/hr in cyber risk and reg

At least $150/hr. Enough to cover the SE tax and other taxes, CPE, etc.

Following. This is an interesting perspective.

Just finished a busy season with PwC NY AWM via Talent Exchange as a SM. $150/hour (after the 16% taken by company that facilitates W2, etc). I worked remotely. I previously worked with this group full time — not sure if that impacted pay, etc or not. May do another busy season or two. Does feel like it will negatively impact my ability to get promoted, etc, but a good move for me personally at the moment as I have more time for my personal life and figure out if tax is where I want to be long term.

Yes

$150/hr seems very low for an SM contractor rate, can't say that sounds like it's worth it. I was planning to ask $250 or more.

Go for it and let me know if you get it! I hope so.
