I actually shied away from these and instead move to more traditional project
Any reason in particular?, can you elaborate?
When I first started, I was in tech support, billing by the 1/4 hour on the phone and 4 hour min. for onsite calls. We were small software company. However, the tasks of keeping 1/4 hour increments proved too difficult. I eventually simply moved into an expectation that I'd bill approximately 60% of my day towards clients and 40% would be eaten as overhead - meetings, travel, bathroom, lunch, going to the printer... When I got into multi-year projects lasting several thousands of hours, it became more of a thing to project billing for software development then eventually try to recoup some of the actuals for comparison to the next project. Now, I'm a PHB, so my time is overhead anyway. :P -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com government is a process which utilizes 45.5% gut reaction, 45.5% laws and statutes and 1% logic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
