> You're making the assumption that being on-call made some kind of difference to your career progression

Two things.

1) I didn't just put in on-call overtime. I put in "free" hours in general.

2) I'm not really making a big assumption. Unsurprisingly working a lot of hours gave a very positive impression of me and I was able to easily justify raises and promotions when I asked.

Calling on-call hazing or bitch work is stupid, I'm not engaging with this.
