I've never worked crazy hours. Never more than 50, sometimes more like 35.
But if you work on a product that the business depends directly on for it's income, you should expect on-call time. If your team has it's act together, they might have a rotation where you're pageable at all hours for one or two weeks per month.
Compensation is mostly dependent on your ability to negotiate your salary.
- pmiller2 8y agoEven one or two weeks a month might be an exaggeration. The most on-call time I’ve had has been about one week out of every 6. As far as actually getting paged, I think it’s happened about 8 times in 5 years. This is primarily at smaller companies. YMMV at a large tech behemoth.
