Seeing a variety of fully remote positions at Facebook (and others for that matter). Anyone recently accepted an offer in this capacity and have feedback on offer competitiveness to a similar in-office role?

    NYC and Bay Area have the highest pay. Base is adjusted (slightly) based on location. Your county determines your pay. In the cheapest locations, you can get up to 15% pay decrease.

    Refreshers are identical and don't depend on location. For someone like me RSUs make up 60% of TC, so pay doesn't change much with location.

      Still worth it. You don't deal the enormous living expense of the bay area, and you don't have to pay crazy state taxes.

      If you do decide to move to Bay Area later, you will get a pay increase.

      The refreshers would be identical but will the new hire grant be identical? Would a E5 offer in Dallas get 700K RSU? I heard not..

    I just went fully remote was at mpk and moved back to LA were I grew up. Only 5% decrease in base salary which is way better than bay considering LA still has cheaper areas

      You should of asked to be remote before you accepted your offer. You can request to go remote after you've joined a team and those requests are reviewed quarterly by the org and then you start the next quarter. So no hard rule that you have to be 6 months in office but more like the whole process might take up to 6 months before you actually go remote.

      Understood! Thanks for explaining the underlying process.

      I asked my recruiter but he said this is MPK location specific offer so I have to start from there.
