US-Based Team Costs

On average, an engineer in the California team gets paid about $100,000/year. In addition to that, the employer has to put out another 30% in overhead. That makes the total out-of-pocket for the company $130,000/year, or $70/hour.

Technical leads are paid more, about $120,000/year. Fully loaded, this translates to $156,000/year or an equivalent $84/hour rate.

The Engagement Manager is paid approximately $160,000/year. Fully loaded, this adds up to $208,000/year or $112/hour. This is a US based position in all cases, so this cost is constant in all scenarios.
