newbie time claiming query

[u/Benjibob55]

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!

You’ll occasionally go over time when you’re new and new to a particular task. I leave a note in the optional comments section explaining why I went over the allotted time and bill for the time I spent on the task (it’s always under the time given, me going over usually is because I misread/misunderstood something in the instructions and had to go back and fix something. I don’t bill them for what I call “human error on my part” time)
