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.

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K.

Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
