I think charging a $27/hour is quite low. That might be what an employee gets but they're going to get billed out at 3x that. A client sees like 75/hr for that

I think charging a $27/hour is quite low. That might be what an employee gets but they're going to get billed out at 3x that. A client sees like 75/hr for that 27/hr employee and doesn't have any idea of what their take home pay is. 200/hr for an independent consultant is someone making ~130k annually. It's a lot but not insane.
