  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?

    Would love to see some base salaries posted along with the responses. If you’re getting paid shit base maybe this is how they make up for it?

    I’m in SRE. No on call benefits at all. Base salary is 175k USD plus 20% annual bonus.

      Anecdotally, I’ve seen the opposite. Places with shit pay tend to not attract the ops talent needed to keep developers out of the on-call rotation. Those orgs tend to fail to recruit both the Ops talent needed to field interesting problems, and the DevOps talent needed to build resilience into the systems allowing Ops to do less on weekends.
