Joining UMM PE as associate, option to use my own phone + $50/mo stipend, or get company phone. Any recommendations?

Like the idea of separating work/personal but recognize two phones is annoying.

Always separate phones

Chief Compliance Officer is at your desk and says “phone, now”

Do you want to hand over (a) a phone that only has work stuff on it or (b) a phone full of drunk texts and video of baddies taking back shots

You said you joined an UMM PE firm, that choice killed your WLB way before not having separate phones did.

Not to mention having two phones just sounds like such a chore.

Agreed, don’t do it

Two phones. Why do you want your employer to own your data ?
Also, can pretend to have WLB by ignoring work phone for five minutes now and then.

Likelihood of separating work and personal is probably slim in actuality, no?

Lol.. $50 stipend? Can you actually get a phone plan for that?

So you just light $30 on fire every month, A1?

I used to have two phones. Wasn’t a big deal

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out.

Sanity check. Going to preface this by saying I'm not in a rush. I wanted to get some good consulting experience so joined EY out of UG. Got early promo, but I've reached the point where I'm no longer growing (learning) much on my current team. I've become very interested in PE and want to give that a shot. I lack the resume experience.

Thinking to move within EY to an M&A focused group SaT or EYP. Do ~2 years and see if I still want that. Will that tick the box for most PE shops?
