  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 don't do it and we have no expectation of it. A good portion of our infrastructure is self healing and spread across multiple zones which has been enough for us for the past 10 years. The parts that aren't can wait until business hours and clients are aware no work is done outside of them so any fixes or changes wait until the following business day.

You would have to more than double my salary to get me onboard with structuring my personal life around "but what if there's an outage", and even then I probably wouldn't do it lol
