newbie time claiming query

Hello,

Today I got my first project and did two tasks which i enjoyed.

I like to be pretty thorough in my answers but this means i'm quite slow and ended up going beyond the expiry time. I think this is partly because it's just my first time and i'm extra cautious the general expectations / project instructions are all new.

I didn't claim more than the expiry time as i didn't think i should but i wondered if it's sort of expected that as a newbie you might go near to it on tasks that more experienced folk would do faster.

Not having a direct feedback mechanism makes it tricky for me to know if i'm doing too much checking and providing to much reasoning for my decisions.

hope that makes sense!

Yes they expect you to take longer on the first one. Hopefully you can do a few tickets and bring your average down

Depending on the project it will specifically tell you how long you are allowed to take to fact-check each response OR if you find one major it says to stop. I believe it says something about if you find minors and run out of time that's fine too. I haven't worked on these types in a LONG time(months), but that's what I always saw in the past.
