For the last few years I've been working as an hourly part time full stack software engineer remotely, but now that school is done, I'm switching to a full time role. What are some things to keep in mind?

When I was hourly, I knew when to start and stop working because I'd simply clock in and out, but with a salary, it feels less clearly defined. There's also "unlimited" PTO, but when is it acceptable to use it?

Read up about your local laws about employment and what benefits you get. And don't let the company screw you over. You don't owe the company anything more than the contract says. The company won't be loyal to you, so you don't need to be loyal to it
