Ya would also add smart contract auditing as possibly the highest billing right now. Pushes $400/hr for freelancing and similar w2 comp.

IR/forensics consulting is definitely more than $400/hr.

[dogman144]

Hm would like to see JDs for that, unless you're referring to the really white glove stuff (ex-whatever, no name consultancies with incredible reps).

Nope.

Have seen labor rates across Fireye, and a host of others.

[sumdude1847]

Then the rates you have seen are incorrect, old, or the result of special circumstances.

It is not my experience that IR people bill $3k days --- though Mandiant definitely has billed out projects that high.
