The ideal is to work remotely for a boss that already knows you. If not that, then I would focus very strongly on the adage that you need to make your boss look good. If you can do that, then your boss will sing your praises. I (unknowingly) had a boss that wasn't doing that at my last position, and it was probably the main thing that caused things to go poorly.
I would consider the largest risk with remote work to be "out of sight, out of mind" for consideration of promotions or even job referrals by colleagues.
I very much have the personality for remote work and largely like to figure out things on my own but the drawbacks feel significant enough to keep me in the office for now...
