Yes, I saw that cf-jobs post. The guy has posted fairly often in the
past, pushing himself as an experienced CFer for various rates i.r.o.
$20/hour.

Consulting groups tend to go in between $150/hour and $200/hour -
sometimes even more - and even with their cut, $85/hour is about the
least I've seen good CFers getting that way... more usually they get
over $100/hour.

Absolutely. Accepting a below market rate devalues everyone's work.
