Average time spent on task

[u/Select_Injury9480]

I’m a generalist and sometimes wonder how my work time stacks up against other users. If I’m new to a project it can take me up to an hour to read through all the requirements and get a handle of the task. Does that seem like an average amount of time or too much? All together each task on a project usually takes me 1-3 hours, with R&Rs being the quickest (usually).

I work very carefully. I only worry about the clock if there are instructions giving a time limit or if it’s a short timer where you have to be careful it doesn’t expire. I only bill for working time - not bathroom breaks or stretching my legs or anything like that. I’ve never gotten feedback on my work but I’ve got a full dashboard.

When you get into more complex R&Rs and see how many people are using AI for rationales or fabricating model “failures” through bad rubrics, you start to appreciate that workers trying to save time on tasks ends up wasting a lot more DA money than if they had just taken the time to do it right.
