If her consulting rates are like mine, this will buy about 12 days of her time.
One day of your time would pay for one month of my life. Funny how much that hurts, even though I already know there are trillions of dollars zipping back and forth in the world. I can only hope that I cross the threshold of fundability as soon as possible.
If it helps, that doesn't reflect what I'm paid - I'm a salaried employee of a consultancy.
That is more in line with what I imagine to be the socioeconomic level of the regulars on this site.
And I guess what you said wasn't in itself "hurtful", it just forcibly reminded me of the evil aspect of my own situation, which (optimistically expressed) is the terribly long time it's taking to get into a position where I can really start to act.
At that rate, that's an annual salary of over $600,000. No way a pre-tenure academic philosopher is that expensive!
I get (52⋅5−8−20)⋅($20000/12) ≈ $386666.67 - this of course is an absolute upper bound on how much I can make for my employer, not an estimate. But agreed, chargeout rates for philosophers may differ.
