Thanks! It’s hard to tell how much I messed up because they don’t expect you to finish it. But it was my shot at a FAANG company.
Which is absolutely shytty. Companies should want to see success out of their candidates.
-Crossing my fingers as I'm giving an Indian recruiter another chance. They are recruiting directly for the company according to their email address and sig, so it's not some 3rd party when you call the number and the voicemail name says someone different. Then you receive a call back from a new number entirely.
-Anyone have any guidance on how to set prices for services? The non profit got back to me and finally sent me some data so I can work on that. I was thinking of packaging services versus by the hour because I don't really want to track hours and that'd be the fair thing to do.
-The first quarter of the year has been surprisingly good to me. I was able to pay off some debt, get my mortgage ahead a month and booked a vacation for the week after school lets out. My daughter deserves it, she's been a trooper with all this.

It depends are you acting as a business or consultant? one good thing about per hour is you can easily finess but it will only work if your client is not knowledgable otherwise you will be exposed for dragging your feet. But honestly you need to do your market research and see the the market prices for whatever your prices are. If you are acting as a business just do packet deals, that's what best and easiest and pretty much what every service based business does. Regardless of your prices stick to them and dont people haggle, hagglers will be crappy clients
Pro tip: the real money is in upselling and reocurring revenue

Keep trucking....you only messed up if you didn't attempt the job interview in the first place
Kinda acting as both; I have business providing analytic consulting and solutions based on the client's requirements.
LOL I only have one client, a non-profit, but she knows other non-profits that could utilize my services, so I'm confident this will lead to more opportunity and why I want to hash out as much as I can early.
I researched similar companies, but they were established and projects appeared more advanced than what I'm dealing with now, so I may have to adjust my criteria and try again.
The start-up costs were negligible…$300/yr for visualization software and data is coming from Google surveys so basically excel spreadsheets. I also have MS Access and could move to a database if necessary, but I don't see the need yet. The value is providing insight and visualizing the data, so like you said packaging may be my best bet.
Looks like im back in the office august 2nd...though i think they might do it in waves
Sometimes you gotta celebrate a win by slacking off for the rest of the day

I think very deeply
One thing about this IT life - the hustle never ends. 
Why do, when meetings end early, people say, "I'll give you 'x' minutes back." MF you ain't gave me back shyt
