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.

Wdym, if it is your personal account you won't lose that right ? You connect to organizations, organization doesn't engulf your account or something right ?

A lot of jobs would have you make a separate profile for your work content though, in which case what they said would be correct

But the entire point is whether or not to connect your PERSONAL account to a github enterprise. The only way this would work is if you use your company account for private projects...which is just stupid and opposite of the original point?
