I’ve regretted not getting a second phone just for work for over 5 years now, ever since I switched to a job that has on-call/after hours notifications and the possibility of people contacting me directly outside business hours or when I’m on vacation. The next time I change jobs, I really need to make an effort to create that separation.

Surprised no one uses google voice. Make a second phone number, calls and texts live in a separate app, and you can “turn off” calls by setting times it goes straight to voicemail and turn off flags/notifications so texts don’t flag you until you open the app.
This is also free.
This is exactly what I do. My work only provides an office phone (no mobile), and I got tired of having multiple places to check voicemail. So I permanently forwarded my office phone to my Google Voice number.
