Trying to be honest in a hiring process without over-complicating












0














I'm in a hiring process where I have 8 hours to build a project.



The project is split in two parts of 4 hours. I have finished the first part last week, and I will meet with my technical interviewer tomorrow to review it and see if I will be moving on to the second part or not.



However, since I had a lot of free time, I've branched the first phase of the project and worked on it a couple days on a local environment. This means I have a high quality project to deliver for phase two, but I have spent a lot more than 4 hours on it.



It is important for them that I spend the time correctly, so they can see how fast I can write code.



I'll be meeting with my interviewing manager tomorrow and I don't know if I should mention any of it, what do you think?
