I'm an SRE.

* How many days per year are you on call? About 50. Depends on whether the team is fully staffed.

* How often do you actually get a call? Right now I think it's about 0.3 pages per 12 hour shift. So once every three shifts.

* How many rotations are you in, and how many other people are in those rotations? One on-call rotation with ~8 other people. Fluctuates wildly because SRE is a high turnover job, but right now we're pretty much fully staffed.

* Do you get any time off or additional compensation for being on call? Two thirds for time outside business hours. So a 12 hour shift on the weekend gives a full day off (or the monetary equivalent), even when you don't get paged at all.

* Do you get any time off or additional compensation for responding to an incident? No, except for a potential spot bonus for handling a huge outage.
