Also nope. :( > management is about to start asking folks to be on call. I'm not sure what to ask for or if its normal to not get anything extra. I'd say it's quite reasonable to ask; my understanding is that SRE at Google is +$10k vs. SWE; you could attempt to do research on those positions to see what the relative difference between them is and use that as an example of what the market pays. But in my experience, you can ask, management will "listen", and then proceed to do bumpkiss. Management theory these days, AFAICT, is geared towards driving company's into the ground by trying to extract more and more value from less and less, until there's nothing left. Good luck. I hope they listen: IME "yes, we'll pay" answers here keep good engineers around, and "no" readily drives out good engineers. I'll also echo what someone else says in the thread: > If I'm working past 5pm, sometime in next few days, I will work X hours less. Particularly if it cuts into sleep: there's no practical benefit to even trying to work, if you're sleep deprived: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/emres/longhourstraining/impaired.h... |
