After hours support

I have started to notice a trend when applying for jobs, now in the job requirements section, it's stating that overtime, afterhours and/or weekend support may be required. My question is, when you see this does you salary figure in your head automatically go up? Since you may be required provide after hours support.

In most cases, no. At least not much more.
If they expect you to work 8-5 and then be on the phone supporting people every night when you get home, the job isn't worth it anyway.
In my experience it's usually in on-call rotation and doesn't get heavily utilized, and then some scheduled maintenance occasionally for production systems that can't be offline during business hours.IT guy since 12/00
