Meta Remote or Onsite

Question

Just got an L4 Research Scientist offer at Meta.They want to know onsite/remote before offer numbers. How can I decide? What are pros/cons?  (live in NYC).

not for meta, but for other companies that offer a remote, it seems to usually be a 10~15% less salary as you move down to lower CoL "zones". Some times that amount is still worth it for a similar quality of life despite the pay cut.

also congrats on being offered a Research Scientist role! thats one cool title

Just note that wherever you decide, your pay will be adjusted to that location and can be significantly lower: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-09/facebook-says-it-will-expand-remote-work-to-all-employees

Do they want you on site in NY or in MPK?

Congrats!!

Ask yourself if the commute is worth. NYC's MTA is not amazing and it's usually SUPER crowded during rush hours. Be prepared for delays as well. 
Do you like the in-person interactions? Ask about the amenities in the office and see if you like them.
