Stock Contributor w/ Enterprise + Personal Account

Here's my scenario: I have a personal CC account that I pay for myself (let's call it account A). I'm also a Stock Contributor under that account. The company I work for has an Enterprise account for our team (let's call it account B).

 

I've always kept it separate, because I do occasional freelance work, and it feels a little funny to be using company provided software for my after-hours side gigs, but I will say it irks me to pay out of my own pocket for the same software that my company is providing. This inflation is no joke!

 

I'm wondering if I can just use the Personal profile under my company account instead. But what happens to my content from Account A in this scenario? And can I still use my Stock Contributor profile? What about the photos in my Lightroom Cloud storage? And what happens if I'm no longer with the company? How easy is it to transfer all my stuff back to a new Personal account plan?

 

I hope all this makes sense. Interested to hear how others feel about this, or manage this kind of scenario.

Best advice - the two would need to remain separate.

Adding your personal account under the company account is messy at best and if you ever decide to split out - its another mess again.

You'd also need to make sure your company is ok with you paying for personal licesnsing that you are using for income outside the company...

    Thanks Kevin. This is what my gut was telling me as well - I think I just needed to say it out loud, and hear another opinion on it.

      The biggest issue I've seen is migrating assets, catalogs, etc. and then being restricted due to a Companies policies. Wondering if you could transfer to a Photography plan instead - less expensive, keeps your personal ID in tact, and still gives you access to LR catalogs, etc.
