"Reasonable Overtime" is the biggest crock of shit out there.

IT? Software Development? DevOps?

Any other those fields "reasonable overtime" can mean anything from the occasional extra hour here and there to "you're on call 24/7 and we expect you to work 3 or 4 hours a night at home to hit deadlines".

It also tends to vary widely depending on the company and your level of seniority. If you work for startup (or Google) and you're senior expect to live and breathe the company or get washed out of the team pretty quick for "not being a team player".

DevOps is the greatest trick the devil ever played on IT staff. Not only are you responsible for building the system, you're now also entirely responsible for monitoring and keeping it online with five nines of reliability. Also, all outages and fuckups are now your fault even though you were forced to release things early to meet a sales target, or made to rush things for some arbitrary deadline, or your "rockstar" colleague created a horrible abomination that fails constantly but "got the job done" so that shiny new feature X went live on time.
