ECSA - How busy are you?
I recently left an ECSA role where I was regularly working more than 50 hours per week and participating in an every-other-week on-call rotation. Our team was responsible for a broad range of responsibilities, as management rarely declined new projects, and our small group was expected to support them all. In addition to our core duties, we built and patched our own servers and provided ongoing support for numerous CC sites, each requiring significant attention.
In speaking with other ECSAs at XGM, my impression is that many did not have the same breadth of responsibilities and were generally able to maintain a standard 40-hour workweek. I'm interested in hearing from other ECSAs about their workload and whether their experiences have been similar.
