I work remotely for a company in Silicon Valley. I worked on site for 2+ years before that.
I work 40 hours a week, no more, no less and I have good performance reviews. I think the trend for programmers is to work 40 hours a week and have a balanced life. There is tremendous pushback against working 50 or 50 hours a week lately, and I'm thankful for that.
Yesterday I played a classical game vs an opponent rated higher than me and lost. Afterwards I analyzed the game in a lichess study, and my opponent was nice enough to share his thoughts in the study. It was an awesome experience. There are great parts of the community as well.
I have worked remotely for just about 1 year right now. This answer may not please you, but I became remote by starting on-site for the company I now work remotely for.
After about 2 years of working in the office I told my manager that I would be moving to another state and that I was interviewing for remote positions. I also said I would stop interviewing if they gave me the ability to work remotely, which they did (and I was very, very happy to stay). It is going to be difficult to find your first remote job, but this is how I did it.
The behavior itself is in a moral gray zone. I wouldn't feel good about myself at the end of the day if I made money preying on people going bankrupt. Morality aside, it is bad advice because it isn't feasible to do that in today's world, and it isn't a valid career track. To me it sounds like he's selling a get-rich-quick real estate scheme in an infomercial.
I found "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" to be horrible. He said he built a lot of wealth by camping outside bankruptcy lawyers' offices and buying the houses from people filing for bankruptcy for super cheap. Then he'd turn around and sell them for full value. He seems like a total charlatan.
> these slick guys come in and take all the credit for the work of the engineering and design teams.
The PMs that take all the credit are bad PMs. The best PMs I've worked with do a ton of behind-the-scenes work and give all the credit to the team. Having a PM that takes care of...

..will boost productivity for any engineer or designer.
