I just got a 15% raise, but it came with the expectation that I’m on-call 24/7 for our new global AI infrastructure. I used to have my weekends to myself, but now I’m getting Slack pings at 3 AM from our team in Singapore. My health and relationships are starting to take a serious hit from the lack of sleep. Is there a specific dollar amount that makes perpetual on-call worth it, or is $200k still too low for that level of stress?

Where are you in life? Single and trying to grow salary? Worth it. Married and comfortable? I'd rather have the time back.

Being on call 24/7 for something that's not a matter of life and death is a bad idea. You should never have agreed to it, and you should get it adjusted ASAP. I mean, you need time to sleep. It's not like you're an emergency room surgeon or something.

I'd ask what the expectation is for your sleep schedule to accommodate this demand. 24/7/365 is wild

4/7 on-call stress isn’t just about dollars — it’s about sustainability. Some folks see six figures as enough, others need serious hazard/onsite pay or extra PTO to make it worth it. At $200k, I’d personally start negotiating for boundaries or compensation

Nope 15% hike for 24*7 call is not justified

I’ll do it

Any advice and past experiences in such career shit?
