In 2020:
Top 1% paid 42% of all collected income taxes. (1.5 million tax payers paid $722 Billion)
Bottom 50% paid 2.25% (78 million tax payers paid $1.7 Billion)

Add on-call load/expectations for the job if any.
If your company has a fairly stable platform that is not constantly on fire and paging 24/7 -- that will be a positive.
