Which one to choose between Optum and Tiger Analytics for Data Scientist position? Where can I expect better data science domain expertise (In my previous companies I found very less understanding of Data Science practices as team)? Heared good things about both of these. Also hearing Tiger is expanding rapidly and getting some crap projects as well in the name of data science. Could someone put light on these things?

Sounds like you’ve got it made. Keep building up that client base and don’t worry about whether the grass is greener. It isnt.
You had no choice but to pass. Do not beat yourself up about it. And thank you for sharing yoir experience.
I got questions about billables when I lateraled from a primarily flat fee firm. I didn’t have any trouble getting offers; I just replied that I had had revenue targets instead of hourly targets, that I’d never had any trouble meeting them, and that seemed to always satisfy people.
Totally get it. You could also respond with something like “No hourly minimum, but I typically work ___ hours/year”.

Do you just do everything on flat fee?
Most of the firm’s revenue is flat, yes. Some of my work is hourly, but I have a huge amount of latitude deciding what or how to bill my clients and I’m still trying to figure things out in that regard.
