If they’re owned by your employer, there is a risk they may take them back for any reason any time and you should be prepared for that by having your own personal devices.

Likewise I simply would not mix work data with your personal devices.

Pretty much the answer @jonah [gave you there](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/which-is-better-a-microsoft-managed-work-profile-or-microsoft-apps-directly-in-my-owner-profile/11674/9) is the same.
