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?

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.
IT sector probably is a lot different in hiring practices than some typical management jobs
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!I’m a pretty untrustworthy stranger on the internet, it seems. The domain is still available, and I’m somewhat intrigued by it, though not enough to actually grab it. But I did change my name to Stephanie nonetheless…
