I do feel my head will explode soon though...

How long does it take for others to get started and producing what clientco has asked for? Is this quetion far too close to "how long is a piece of string?".

Long discussion on exactly this topic in a current thread...

Comments from working hard by lunch and doing nothing 4 weeks later so full scope there.

On my current role about 5 minutes and that was only because I needed to get a coffee first.

I was here for 3 years before so knew the role inside out, and the login could wait as I was immediatlely sat at other users machines.
