I am trying to get into consulting. What is the ongoing rate for engineering consultants in the Bay Area? Different rates for hardware and software? Is it better to go the hourly route or project based?

The rates are all over the place - personally, I go for project based based on estimated # of hours. I've found that's the best way to price, but some prefer hourly

Thank you! I was also thinking along the lines of project based vs hourly.

Trying out bumble bff. Met a girl for drinks last week and we seemed to hit it off. We mentioned doing something again and coordinating later in the week.

But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲
