My employer is suuuper generous. I get a “shout out” on Slack, and if it’s a big incident my slack profile photo appears on a slide at the company all-hands and the CEO graciously extends his thanks. Sometimes he might even say my name!
I’m on call every 3rd week, no cap on time, usually 3 to 5 people (cross teams). base salary $175k US, no RSUs or 401(k).
I want a new job but not getting many resume bites at the moment.
$175k isn't bad at all. In my company, that's senior level salary.
Also depends on what it entails. No amount of money will ever make me do IT work and support a CEO directly.
Yeah, it’s not bad at all. For context, I’m Senior Staff with > 25yrs experience living in a M/HCOL area, so it’s on the low side. Honestly I’m fine with the base, it’s the casual indifference to the inconvenience, and there’s something about the “cheapness” of the way it’s rewarded that niggles me. Not terrible, not great!
