In my experience, being "SRE" means being pager bitch. I was almost completely burned out by being pager bitch for a company that had two warring tribes of PHP and Haskell developers that just sort of threw things over the wall for SRE to keep up. We had no meaningful way to push back on developers because that impacted product release timelines and we can't have that, can we? IDK, part of the reason I got into things like DevRel is that I am good at SRE style work, but I'm just not cut out to be pager bitch like other people are. I now have a 500% premium for any job that involves oncall work. Nobody's taken me up on it, surprisingly.
