I have around 15 years of experience in Oracle EPM planning and budgeting implementations. I am thinking of working as a contractor. I am getting offers from contracting companies for a max rate of 100 per hour. Just wanted to know if i am getting low balled. My present salary is around 140k. I am moren in doing core tech work rarher than assigning tasks to members and following up with them constantly.

You want to be an individual contributor - then that's what they will pay you.

Assuming you have work authorization aka GC or citizenship then I would recommend to use Pwc’s talent exchange site to apply for roles. It’s a niche / hot skill and you should be able to get $140ish per hour ( based on your skill level). But if you go through contracting companies then they will pay you around that only as they would be taking their cut.

Since I did it I think anyone can do it. Let me know if my experience can be of your any help.
Happy to help!

And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
