OP - Is this rhetorical? If you finish 8 hours of work in 5, I don't think any manager would let you dilly dally for another 3 lol. They want to keep you productive.

Either way it looks good for you in the long run. If it's too much, slow down a bit.

It’s called the cream rising to the top. I see this a lot from the other side. My client has lots of developers. Most are so-so, one is very good. Who do you think we all send our questions and development requests to?

I go home at midnight with the rest of the team everyday regardless of how fast I finish things because 1) I am asked to do additional analyses, etc. that have little to no value add 2) I spend a lot of time helping others. I understand I have to be a team player but it just sucks to be always drowned in work. Also, I am starting to realize the faster you finish work, the more unnecessary work they’ll create for you... I was naive. I will just take my time with everything.

Truth is you’re being overloaded because you’re good, and you’ll get promoted soon for the same reason. Before you know it most of your job will be helping others get their job done, and planning the rest of your day as you see fit. So try not to sweat it in the short term. You might delicately try to bring up the situation to more senior people at your firm. In my company, we’re cognizant that we don’t burn out our best people before they have a chance to become more senior, and will make necessary adjustments.

Do you want to be viewed as reliable then continue to move at your speed. Make sure quality is there and take credit. This will help you get promoted. Unless of course you are mean to coworkers, that would make you principal material

Under promise, over deliver.

Yes. My entire career has been like that. When I was a senior, they had me helping out struggling managers. The nerve. And on and on it went. So unfair. ;)

Those who make the most mistakes often have the highest utilization.

Dude remember 80/20 pareto rule!
