As a data point, when I worked in consulting 10+ years ago doing network (internet/ext), web app, mobile etc our day rate was $2k AUD flat for anything we did, and AFAIK we were at or below market cost. I know for sure that the big four charged closer to $3000 for what I understood to be a worse service (I have nothing to back that up apart from occasionally seeing awful reports). We did not an insubstantial amount of netpen at that amount. Granted, AUD isn’t USD, but I wonder what their day rate is now.
