Ask HN: Opinion for Software Developer with 24/7 oncall

My job requires 24/7 oncall scheduled once per month. We have about 7 people in the team but two are architects so they are spared for oncall schedule.

I've been working for almost 2 years and start to feel like my life and career are just evolving around oncall schedule. It's not that I want to avoid oncall but we constantly get pages multiple times per night. Some pages are bug related, some are network issue but mostly it's dependent services acting crap. During the day when oncall, I am supposed to be supporting/resolve issues reported by our users. This is a very big online retailer. The services we write and support has no external users impact.

I've been working as developers for 8 years with small firm (not startup) as well as biggest investment bank in the US. I do get called sometimes during the wee hour and stay late during release but 24/7 oncall like this is unprecedented.

I am wondering how many of you developers out there have such hideous oncall responsibility like this? Did you end up jump ship because of oncall and support?
