If my boss asks me for a straight forward task, I complete that task and always try to go above and beyond by adding in additional analysis, etc. it usually takes me an extra hour.

Weird flex, but okay

likefunny

1) Align on the minimum output and the time you need to complete it ( over-estimate it)
2) deliver early after double checking every number
2b) in the delivery, pitch additional analysis that can be helpful to the client. Don’t lose the overall story.
Takeaway; doing analysis that is never used is a waste of team time

I sometimes feel it’s inefficient since the extra work isn’t always used. Is this a rookie mistake, is there real value in doing extra, am I wasting time? Would appreciate feedback

I applaud your initiative and energy. But sometimes speed is more important. Maybe clarify by saying you have some ideas that could be helpful that wouldn’t take much longer
