- ivanmontillam 4y agoI bill my customers based on value delivered, not on my time exposed to a topic[0]. It could happen that my 15-year tinkering effects in great value delivered. My point is that time devoted to learning something is not free; you must consider it a business cost. Regardless of time exposed to the topic at hand, not necessarily a lot of time invested* into something results in a great deal of value to be delivered. You could optimize that time with ultra-learning techniques[1]. The correlation of time exposed to a topic doesn't result in the causation of how much should I charge a customer. -- [0]: https://www.ivanmontilla.com/blog/does-professional-experience-matter https://www.ivanmontilla.com/blog/does-professional-experien...
