Do data engineers generally do on-calls (looking for answers from DEs at amazon)?
My manager is asking me to come work on on-call rotations and I am not sure if I want to say no without data points, especially with the pay amazon has for DEs
Want to see the real deal?

Some people will argue that on-call is necessary to ensure that weekend jobs run for WBR. There’s a flaw there in assuming shit is so brittle that there MUST be eyes over the weekend to ensure jobs are walked through where needed. If you build resiliency into your systems (needed to work around the internal ETL tool at Amazon) and your data infra is stable, this isn’t needed.
Now, all that is easier said than done at Amazon, where people can’t help but develop duct-taped processes and accidentally DoS platforms because of zero workload management constraints and/or hyper inefficient processes.
Team is bleeding and SDM is pushing me into oncall
I am basically doing same work as SDE and getting 60% of sde pay that’s horrible imo
