Consultant Position Hourly Rates

Bobby
Hi fellow designers & Architects, I am actively searching for employment and have interviewed with a firm in West LA / Culver City. The position calls for an Intermediate Designer Consultant and they request for an hourly rate. A little background about myself, I have a BArch from CCA and have 3 years of experience in SD, DD, CD, CA, consultant coordination, code/material research, ADA survey, and graphical work. As I am new to the consultant position and with little to no knowledge of "how much to charge", my overall concern is, How much should I charge? Does location matter? I am wary of throwing out a high number and having them refuse my services, yet throw a low number and not make enough to pay bills. Thanks for the advice.

So... they're probably going to have you working in their office, 40 hours per week, but not going to pay you benefits because they convinced you to sign a contract as a consultant. Sounds like a sweet deal...
