I am full time remote, and the hours per day I can work range between a couple of hours and a dozen. So long as the work is done and the clients are happy, that's what matters. The main thing is self-discipline, having the self-discipline to get the work done and to provide top quality work. You have the flexibility to choose your best working space, working hours, and working style, so go and produce your best work.

9to5isdead | 8 years ago | on: How to actually get a remote job as an intermediate developer?
This is what you'll be up against when interviewing for good remote companies. I work for a remote first company, not just a remote friendly company, so the competition really is stiff.
With the wage I went in for, it was a no brainer. Was hired days later, and it's been the best job I've had so far.
As a remote worker, you really do have to be a self-manager, you're trusted by your team – in the same way you trust your team – to get shit done.
Another thing I did was ace the interview. I went into it with the confidence to present myself as I knew myself, as I knew they didn't. I switched the interview around and interviewed them, and in the end, we were all laughing.
What I would say is "show, don't tell".

Made the switch a year ago after moving from web developer to tech lead and having all the issues you mentioned. Now I'm just writing code again. Best decision ever.

Work remotely for a great company, other than scheduled meetings, work to my own time which tends to be split up to AM/PM and also, each day is a different schedule.
The lack of routine is great, I get to work and live at the same time, rather than feeling like my life is dominated by office hours.
