Yeah, um... exactly. It's baked into your salary, though.

Being on call is baked into your salary? I hope you are getting some serious "fuck you" money if you're effectively on call at all times.

Typically there’s an oncall rotation. So your oncall periodically (like 1 week out 4-6). It’s not something I love but I like the rest of the work. Also the oncall is just the L1 triage. For anything more complicated a lot more people get paged in until the thing is handled.

That’s my experience so far anyway.

Just no. If they want me available 24/7 they better compensate me really well for it. Even doctors won't do it without compensation. Better be some serious salary if being on call is baked into it.
