Even accounts could be a reasonable separation.

If you absolutely had to use your personal computer for a full time gig I can’t imagine how having a clean slate and user namespace wouldn’t be beneficial.

Discreet SSH keys, directories, downloads, etc.

I work from home and even when I have no startup plans I still keep two separate browser profiles, ssh keys, directories etc, exactly for the benefits you mentioned. Things like autocomplete suddenly become "smarter" if they know I'm looking for something work related.
