    Did some freelance work and thought it would be simple and client was like "we'll pay by the hour" and then it took me 15 hours and I feel bad.

    Client and I both thought it would take like 8 but they're fine with it.

    Why do I feel guilty charging for 15 hours?

    • Because you said it would take 8 and now you've essentially doubled the price for the same thing as a result, that's why. Happens all the time.monospaced
    • Happened to me not long ago. I adjusted the estimate for the next project with the same client. They weren't happy but they didn't fight.monospaced

    • Not a big deal, just explain.studderine
