250-500/hr, though roles like that are hard to find. Most freelancers can think *and* deliver, so pure strategy work is rare-ish. Like anything else though, almost entirely based on relationships.

I went IC this past year knowing can’t find my preferred F100 or industry-specific clients on my own. I checked out 20+ referral sources, including platforms like PWC Talent Exchange, Catalant, and Movemeon in Europe. I also formed subcontracting relationships with local boutiques. If you have the goods, not only is the work out there, there are more and more options for connecting with clients. Intermediaries take their cut, but your hourly rate will be much better and you have control over the gigs you choose. Downside: need your own health insurance and liability policy - I was able to get health thru my spouse and got great referral for business policy. Love having no office politics, just straight up client delivery. Very, very happy!

There's no way, M2. For a new independent $150 per hour would be very high, 100 is much more likely

You'd probably have to start around $1k -$1500 per day, with good connections, but can work up to your old rates over time

Strategy is in the execution. You must be able to implement nowadays

You could probably get a gig managing the big 4 for an implementation or deal..300/hr

I've done this. Manager level. Successfully charged $2.5-3k per day including expenses.

Hi All, I am new here. I thought of sharing the post to seek guidance from my experienced fish communities. I have in total 9.10 YOE in Investment banking and financial services. I have switched 3 companies so far in my professional career - Societe Generale (2012-2013), Accenture (2013-2019), and London Stock Exchange Group (2019-Present). Even after switching to 3 different companies, my current package is 15 LPA (Fixed). If I look at my peers, I am underpaid. Thanks to guide me.
