If you’re working a tech job, you almost certainly have the bucks to get the extra device. Personally, I think it’s a bit scummy that a business would ask employees to do work on a device they didn’t pay for, but that’s a digression. The long and short of it, I think, is that you should keep things separate because a job is not forever so you should remain prepared to leave, and to keep them from snooping in your personal business. Yeah yeah that probably won’t happen, but if you keep em separate you know it won’t. MDM and similar also give them the ability to wipe the device at any time, for reasons that could have absolutely nothing to with you. You know, as a precaution, of course. Just save yourself the headache.

I'm of the opinion that until I retire, I do not have the "extra money" to do anything for my job out of my own pocket. They can pay me for their requirements if they go against my better judgement. My current job does not require that I put anything on my phone, though I've chosen to check my work email there. I could take it off at any time, though, without repercussions. They've treated me well, there's nothing in my contract about their data on my devices, and I like to keep up with what's going on. If any of that changed, I'd remove it from my phone.
