One thing that this article is also kinda missing is the base compensation. Some companies (e.g. FB) are in the top 90th percentile or so of the industry but then don't pay on-call compensation..
But that means that in one case you make 200k base, have an on-call and don't get any extra on-call money.
In the other case you make 140k base, have an on-call and get 10k extra on-call money.
Ultimately you end up doing the same work but one of them gets paid less.
