Hello, I left my job a couple of weeks ago, but I could work for them as an external consultant for 1 week per month as they haven't found a proper replacement yet. There are some tasks that only I could do within the required deadlines, so I am looking for a realistic hourly rate that I should charge. I know I should get as much as possible, but I am looking for some realistic numbers and based on some of your actual experiences.
Let's say that my total salary expense for the company was 40$/h, would you charge +100$, 80$, 60$ per hour or something else? Or at least, what could be my minimum range be?
Thanks for the help.
