Yeah. And when the outage is due to something external, it’s not too stressful. As long as you don’t have absolutely insane bosses, they’ll understand that it’s out of your control. So, you wait around for the external system to be fixed, then check that your stuff came back up fine, and go about your day.
I personally liked being on call when the on-call compensation was reasonable. Like, on-call for 2 12-hour shifts over the weekend? 2 8-hour days off. If you were good at maintaining your systems you had quiet on-call shifts most of the time, and you’d quickly earn lots of days off.
