Using same email address is deliberately asking for problems.

I once got enrolled to a school and they asked my email. Didn't know it was for teams access.
Now, 4 years later I still get to choose wether I want to login in their tenant or mine everytime.
Microsoft solution? Change my email on the personal account.
Not kidding.

That sucks. If your email provider supports +suffixes you may be able to work around it that way.

A perfect use for Firefox container tabs!
It's the only way I can keep my personal, work, and alma mater email separate and not falling into login loops.
In my case, my personal and professional Microsoft addresses are the same (same email, different accounts) which means that in many cases I end up in impossible situations when the login screen doesn’t correctly guess if I want to sign in personal or with my “work” account. I also do client work for organisations where I need to sign into their O365 and honestly the only way to manage all that is to keep a dedicated browser “per account”.
Teams is a different story, I avoid account switching because exactly like you describe, sometimes I need to uninstall it in order to sign out.
