This is a great timing for me for this post. Lots of good if somewhat obvious advice.
I'm considering picking up on-call duties in my new role. In my last company they expected us to do on-call as part of the job but only during what they defined as "working hours" which didn't fit with my schedule. That was one of the reasons I left that particular role. But here they give an 18% salary boost for the on-call duties, and I love debugging hard production problems which is a huge plus.
