Ask HN: Help for 24/7 on rotation/call contract for employee (me)

1 pointsby throwaway_jackalmost 11 years ago
sorry for the throw away account.<p>I&#x27;m a junior-ish sys admin with 3 years experience and I&#x27;ve been interviewing with an IT operations support company where an ex-colleague of mine works.<p>I like the company, the people and the work they do but this would be my first experience of rotation&#x2F;on call. I know I will have to wait for their offer and then judge but I&#x27;d like to be prepared... too bad I have no idea what&#x27;s &quot;normal&quot; and what&#x27;s not!!<p>I&#x27;m in the UK (London) and it would be great to have any feedback&#x2F;idea on:<p>- what kind of contract should I expect? - what things should I negotiate on (harder than usual)? I know they are flexible and happy to consider different arrangements for different people but, as mentioned, I don&#x27;t know what&#x27;s normal - do you get paid a sort of normal salary but don&#x27;t work during the day if you get woken up the night before? or do you get paid more when you are woken up?<p>Anything really! Thanks a lot for any input
