Work Macbook AppleID account setup

[Jimbeam3678]

Lucky enough to be starting a new job in a few weeks, I have the option of a Macbook for work.

From my understanding, I can set it up using my existing AppleID. The obvious benefit to this is apps etc I have bought will come over. But what are the consequences of this, will my company have any control over my data? Or will be just be within company tools like Teams, Notion etc?

I would rather use my existing AppleId but not at the cost of my data if anything goes belly up in my new job.

I don’t think anyone here can answer that, it all depends on your companies policy.

Personally, I wouldn’t want to use my own AppleID on company owned equipment.

That was my thinking to be honest, subconciously I was hoping someone would tell me different on here.

Thanks Feek, anyone else have any expereince with this?
