If signal gets the new username feature, this just might be what i do, so fricking tired of people just blindly giving random apps and websites their contact permissions and they get my contact as well, and there’s nothing i can do about it

I did just that about 7 or so years ago. Only gave my number to family members and really close people. Also deleted all my social media.
One of the best decisions of my life.
Unfortunately, I was just getting started on “the real world” and would get any job thrown my way. One of them required me to reply to my manager on WhatsApp so I ended having to create one and give them my number. I’ve since left that job and I’m now no longer a junior in my field, but still feels feels bad on my record :(
How do you apply to new jobs without giving out your number?
Or really any important documents and forms that require a phone number.
Separate sim only for job stuff?
I recall setting up a Google Voice number for fielding calls from recruiters and the like, but that’s likely not the best method for privacy since it’s through Google.
I wondered about this but I figured recruiters would assume Google voice numbers were spam/sketchy applicants.
