Somebody just offered me a gig doing DFIR with malware analysis for $75-85/hr. That’s not even close to market rates. What the heck is going on these days?

Out of curiosity, what are the market rates?

Remember, this is for an incident and not to hire an employee… DFIR bills at minimum $250/hr, but you’re likely to see prices higher than that.

You seem to have pretty high rates over there in the US. 👀

Supply and demand maybe. What kind of rates are typical for emergency IR where you are?

I can't really answer about IR, I work in DF. I guess it depends, as each consultant has their pricing depending on various factors. US prices are usually applied by "big name" consulting firms who send juniors with 5 minutes of experience, paying them 1/10 of the rate.
