1. How much extra do you get paid for being on an call rotation? 2. Is the salary/benefits the same for inconvenience of being on call and working on an incident? 3. What other rules do you have? Eg. max time working on an incident, rota for highly unsociable hours? 4. How many people are on the same schedule with you? 5. Where are you based, EU/US/UK/Canada?

    I am the lead on a team of 5 and technically we have an on call rotation but it is rarely used. In the last 3 years I have been called after hours a total of 4 times and TBH it was usually due to an AWS outage which resulted in us saying well let’s see how long it takes for them to o restore services and then someone run a safety check to make sure shit is normal.

    For that I make $120k, have unlimited PTO, and work from home.
