Migrated Contacts Sent to Wrong Account

I just did a backup migration to a new MacBook and my contacts landed up in the wrong iCloud account. How can I restore them to my primary iCloud account?

Contacts added to wrong account I accidentally added a bunch of contacts to the wrong account when it was set as default. I want to be sure ALL my contacts are on my default account, but do not want all of them shared to the other accounts (e.g., personal contacts and notes should not be synced to my work exchange account). What's the most straightforward way to isolate those contacts found ONLY on the exchange account so I can copy them to the primary account and delete those that do not belong from my exchange account? My primary Mac to which I sync everything has limited access to my exchange account but phone has everything.

I changed my Apple ID and lost all my contacts I changed my Apple ID to a new email address because the old email no longer exists. My Calendar is ok but I've lost all my contacts. There is nothing in iCloud to restore it from. When I try to restore from Time Machine it shows blank Contacts, even from old backups from 2 years ago. I can't sign into the old Apple ID to try and restore from there. Are my contacts lost forever?
