Yeah, I have to say I envy a lot of the other people in this thread.

I had a very similar deal. I was on call 24/7/365 for two years. Generally something came up at least twice a week. Usually in the evening or on holidays. Often a production issue or an "urgent" ad-hoc query request (they always needed some crazy slicing of data RIGHT AWAY because of customer X or Y or...) but we did, once or twice have a "WE NEED THIS CRITICAL FEATURE WE NEVER EVEN HINTED AT NOW NOW NOW" deal.

No extra pay and the job itself paid only 45k.

I recommend you get out. It just wears too much on you to effectively always be at work.

Now I don't get to do basically any development and the work is boring, but at least I get paid a lot more and I'm not on call. Sigh. Guess you can't have everything.
