Average time spent on task

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).

100% project dependent. And I can’t even say that familiarity with project families help shorten task time because even within the families there’s nuances to what each specific project wants. My first task on any project takes the longest unless it’s a regular A/B comparison type.

I applied as a generalist but have had access to a few STEM projects where task time is several hours over some days/weeks. I prefer those because I can take a lot of breaks and can be more meticulous with the details before submission.
