I've been a senior dev for quite some time and I was never required to be on call beyond my standard 9-5 hours. I mostly work in enterprise development and, if the systems are critical, there are dedicated teams who're doing the 24/7 support. Furthermore, in the finance sector the developers are not allowed by law to even touch production (to prevent fraud). You could still be theoretically brought into a call to help-troubleshoot, but I've never worked on a system critical enough for that to ever be requested.
- giantg2 6y agoAre you in the US? I work in finance. We absolutely have on-call rotations and at least read-only PRD access (usually some limited write capability).
- killtimeatwork 6y agoEurope. Interesting about read-only prod access, over here it's a huge no-no for developers.
- giantg2 6y agoI feel like that's not the case universally. We have offices over there and they provide prod support too.
- killtimeatwork 6y agoProbably, if you're the US company, the US working culture defines how people work in Europe as well. That's what I heard about Amazon office here in Europe - by local standards, it's a sweatshop.
