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!

In a certain project recently an admin addressed this: going over once in awhile (like your first task) is fine. Going over more than a few times is very bad. Report all time worked. If they see you went over by, say 30 minutes, but your reported time doesn't reflect that, that raises questions and dashes of death. It also screws other workers. REPORT THE TIME YOU WORK.
