> high pressure oncall simply isn't a thing at the other tech companies. At least for me and ive worked at a few of them

I think you've been pretty lucky. I've never had a job in IT where there wasn't high pressure oncall.

But... I work in ops. I suppose that might be where the difference lies. I don't know anyone that works on the Ops site of IT that hasn't had to deal with on cal responsibilities.
