I’ve been tinkering with the idea of switching back to a dumb phone. I haven’t dug too far into the search because every time I do, I get hung up on the apps I need for work - outlook, my work keycard app, etc. Is there any good way to work around this? Keep my current phone with only those apps for work, operating on WiFi, and switch my primary phone? If anyone has examples of things they’ve tried and what’s worked, that would be great. TIA!

Get whatever phone you want privately. If your work depends on you having a smartphone for various things, they can provide you with one. I have never used my work phone privately, and never will. I just have two phones, one of them gets turned off when I leave the office.
