Thanks for looking this up. I did some research many years ago when I was in an unpleasant on-call situation (unreliable third-party dependency) and negotiated pay for it as a result. I recall seeing a $3500 daily rate figure at the time for a cardio surgeon, but that may have been an outlier.<p>While the numbers may be off, one point I didn&#x27;t make in my initial post but should have is that anybody doing on-call is providing a valuable service. It&#x27;s no different than paying a babysitter to watch TV while your kids sleep. Both babysitters and devops&#x2F;IT&#x2F;whatever are compensated for their ability to act in case the unexpected happens. If someone&#x27;s not getting paid for that, then it must not be valuable to the company to have that coverage.
