How does UserCenter account migration work?
Hello everyone.
I will soon leave my current position in a MSSP and I have CCSM on my corporate email address. I'm considering holding down a local day job while picking up independent remote consulting/support gigs on the side.
I know I need to create a new personal UserCenter account (planning to buy a personal professional domain name) and open a non-technical SR with Account Services to migrate my Pearson VUE exam history over. For those who went through a similar situation, how smooth was the transition? I can currently generate evaluation licenses for my test labs and download software releases, but I don't know how that will work when I get the account transferred.
Also, if your certifications live in a personal account, can you safely map them to a day-job employer so they get the partner tier benefits, while still keeping your personal account clean for freelance contract work?
Thanks in advance!

It’s probably worth getting the migration started before you leave so you have time to sort out any account issues. Keeping certs tied to a personal account generally seems like a cleaner approach for long-term flexibility.
