Is it good to show your coworkers that you are online?

Should I keep my current online status in Microsoft teams? I actually don't want to show my status to anyone and want to keep it “Away” all the time because either I don't want to get disturbed, or don't want to tell anyone when I am online, or sometimes I also like the flexibility to check group messages without even worrying about anybody checking if I read their message. This gives me less stress. But this might backfire since I work overtime and work late at night since I am in an IT job, and my managers could be under the illusion that I am not working, and it could affect my career. Please share your thoughts on what is right to do…
