If I could trust my employer to not snoop around in my phone and online activities, I wouldn’t have an issue having a single device for both work and private…but with their need for control and surveillance, there is no trust at all.
Never mix work and personal in a device. Anytjing that happens with work, your device may be considered evidentiary…goodbye device until that’s resolved.
In my previous 2 jobs I used my own phone with dual sim, and was circumventing all this bullshit and just synching my mails from the company webserver. The method was less than official, but many IT guys and top managers did this.
My current company is much more strict, so I just carry 2 phones with me, I really hate it, but I will never give the full access to my personal device.

What kind of stuff do you have to install for work?
For me it’s just 2FA Keys, that can keep in the same app (Aegis) as my private ones.
They require full control of apps and ability to remote install and remove them.
Yeah thats a no go on a personal device.
Doesn’t matter what it is.

Yeah I did this previously at my old job too, but my current one doesn’t allow that and require full control of the device.
Some phones have a work profile could that work?
If I could trust their spyware to be contained to only a work profile, it could work…but I don’t trust that they will only touch the work profile.
If you don’t trust your phone to keep your work profile isolated then you don’t trust your phone. Work profile doesn’t ask apps nicely.
My employer manages profiles on the phone, so I’d have to trust them to set it up in a way that doesn’t allow them access to the private profile.
