Most FAANG-level software engineering jobs will require being on-call with something like PagerDuty [0]. Though I guess you could get by with using just text message notifications and not necessarily the app.

- Barrin92 3y agoIn the US that is. Over here on the old continent they thankfully can't pull that stuff because most countries have banned work calls outside of regular work hours.
- Abroszka 3y agoNo, in the EU too and it's legal. They pay extra though <3
- Barrin92 3y agoDefinitely not legal in many of the large economies any more. France, Spain, Italy, Portual, Belgium and Ireland have have all adopted so called "Right to disconnect" laws. In Germany it's not categorically outlawed but employees have no obligation to respond off-hours. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/02/01/right-to-disconnect-laws/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/02/01/right-to-... May of course be the case that some companies skirt the rules because they are relatively new and awareness might not be there.
- Abroszka 3y agoI think you are confusing "respond off-hours emails" and on-call. I work in Germany and I'm contractually obligated to respond when I'm on-call.
