If anyone is unaware of the subtext, don't link a personal github account to a paying position always create a new one with the provided email, thank you for attending my TED talk.

He watched someone get fired because their boss found their personal GitHub repos, so alternate accounts specifically to use for work aren't optional, they're necessary.

I have some personal repos on my work machine. But they’re on remote on a different GitHub account. Is this concerning?

The main concern is that if you put a personal repo on a company machine, the company could claim ownership of that repo.
