I’m using Proton right now. Someone suggest I should get a Gmail instead for higher chance of success. Is that true? How risky is it for Google sanning those mails in terms of privacy?

That probably depends more on what is before the @. Is your mailadress a gamertag or some random thing you came up with as a teen? “Superbunny69” probably has a lower chance of success than “lastn.firstname”
Maybe I am an odd duck, but when I have been the guy looking at resumes and shit, I made a note not to read peoples email addresses. I don’t care if your email is cumdumpster19 I care if you know how to configure a firewall. But I think most people look for reason to round file a resume and not reasons to say yes to an applicant.
The roles I’ve hired for require formal presentation of work/studies with a certain level of attention to detail, and more internal politics than I care to admit.
So while its never the sole deciding factor in a resume I do put weight on spelling, formatting, and general professionalism. If your email is
firekitten22@aol.com, orjon@sirfapsalot.netI’m not immediately binning it, but you are starting from a disadvantage.stephanie@harmlessdomain.comis always gonna be just fine though.I’m changing my name to Stephanie right now, and buying harmlessdomain.com if it’s available! Then I’ll always be fine!
You’re hired!
harmlessdomain.comis available - I expect to see it registered by tomorrow or I’m never trusting a stranger on the internet ever again!
