It does rely on that. Supply and demand works that way. Eventually the offered price is enough to change some minds. I'll change mine at about $3k/hour-on-call.
- quickthrower2 7y agoI’ll do it for $100/h on call. Sweet gig if you do 40h a month on call that’s a sweet $4000 a month and hopefully most times you won’t even be called.
- sushid 7y agoSounds like you’re being a facetious but there are plenty of companies that do pay you if you do end up getting paged. Not for being scheduled on call. Plenty of companies also do 12 hour shifts during the day if you’re on call and have SREs handle the rest for the most part.
- wikibob 7y agoThere are companies that compensate you for all on call hours. Being paid only if you are paged is not appropriate compensation for interrupting your personal life: having your laptop, reliable internet, cellular coverage, being available on x minutes notice.
