Dropped my phone after looking at this rate. Who’s going to pay you that kind of a rate without a brand name?

Daily rate

Your rate is determined by who’s in your network that’s willing to hire you.

I think you could probably charge 2200+ DZN

Depends on skillset, but 1200 to 1800 covers almost all non-Csuite skills.

Rates were trending downward over the past 12 months.
