Interesting calculus of choices there: I don’t miss the distraction or privacy implications of my personal phone, yet I expect a company to issue me a phone which comes with distraction and privacy implications (the subject surveillance of the article disregards whether a pocketed phone is corporate because it can work with numbers directly), and I also don’t maintain a landline to sit for a phone screen to find that opportunity in the first place, so I expect to talk to you over Zoom (ceding more privacy; surprise, cellular call content is legally sensitive for LE, video packets aren’t) or in person.
You probably don’t realize nor intend this, but that can be a large red flag for your candidacy from the other side of the table, particularly if the role involves security because you’re broadcasting a slight misjudgment of your threat vectors and exposure. The number of resumes most folks go through, expecting ravens from Winterfell will get you dropped fast. Torvalds could probably get away with making initial hailing frequencies that difficult, but you or I should just buy a phone number of some kind, as much as it sucks.
The phone isn’t the problem if you apply opsec correctly, buy the right one, and operate it like a compromise hazard. (It is.)
