It depends on a lot of factors, like how my productivity is measured, how long is the commute, etc. but in general I'd pick the 4 days in the office.

I have done it both ways actually and I would take the 5 days WFH because I could still do the same amount of work in both scenarios and get paid the same. And on my "extra" 5th day of WFH I can just pretend to work and do whatever anyway.
Even if I had to actually work more, I'd still do WFH instead of commuting to the office because the commute and office + city experience just suck that much more.
My comment goes against the trend, but I'd choose to go into work since I find it much easier to focus, to the point where I could likely get the same amount of work done in 4 days at the office vs 5 days at home.
Currently my employer makes us come into the office three days per week, unless we choose to switch to full-time remote.
I don't mind the one hour commute, I did it for 3 years going to college and my first job and I think 3 day weekends are the perfect amount of time between work weeks. Then again, I love the freedom of WFH. I can't choose.
I work 3 days a week WFH...so neither?
lol
Yeah 4 day WFH sounds great, IDK what the difference in onsite makes lol you just go onsite to zoom meeting anyways
