What you say in the interview and what you actually do on the job are not the same.
After the initial probation period and you have shown them how amazing you are, then you can put your feet up (on remote days anyway).
I am currently a permie and fully remote, and embarrassed to say how little I work compared to when I was a contractor as there is
1) no renewal to work for
2) the take home pay is about half what I was getting as a contractor, so I put in about half the effort (actually is more like one quarter if I'm honest

I have gotten good at always acting very busy and stretching out work that would take a day into a week.
I was always a 4x developer, so even if I put in a quarter of the effort I used to do, it is still the same output as an average developer. I have worked with developers who have been even more productive than me, I would call them 6x developers. I have never met a 10x developer but I am sure they are out there.
