  1. How much extra do you get paid for being on an call rotation?
  2. Is the salary/benefits the same for inconvenience of being on call and working on an incident?
  3. What other rules do you have? Eg. max time working on an incident, rota for highly unsociable hours?
  4. How many people are on the same schedule with you?
  5. Where are you based, EU/US/UK/Canada?

    $150 per week of on-call.

    It’s almost never worth it to me (we almost always get at least 1 call during the week, if not 4-5).

      I worked at a place like that and I ended up saying no to on-call. It depends on your leverage, of course. I was able to tell them “I’m here to fix your mess, not to roll in it.”

      Seems like you have some organizational and technical debt in the company that would be worth addressing before agreeing to be on-call
