Also, only on on-call for things you're actually responsible for. I hate having on-calls span multiple teams. They can then be lazy, as their issues hurts someone else. And the added stress of having to debug and fix shit you're not comfortable touching. Additionally, I'll never accept on-call with 15 minutes from alert to being on a computer again. It's just too limiting and disruptive of my life. Have to bring the computer everywhere. Any dinner or social event can be instantly ruined. A workout becomes meaningless. I remember doing a swim and having to check my phone every 5 minutes. It's mentally exhausting and frankly not worth the pay.
