Finally becoming salaried – is this a good thing?

I have finally, finally after many years been moved to a professional salaried position. It’s so weird to not have to clock in and out, yet I’m expected to be in office 4 days a week. The number of hours has remained vague and we have unlimited PTO. I find myself wanting to leave very early every day since a major issue I’ve always had is no job can ever give me enough work to do. I have more work to do now but I’m convinced no office job takes 8 hours a day at this point(others tell me otherwise). How do I not get sucked into going over 40 hours (decreasing my hourly wage) and how do I assert that it’s ok that I’m walking out the door at 3pm? My works always done. The rules are very vague and subjective. Just looking for any advice at all really…

But I know it could go sideways fast.
