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?

seems like companies who know what proton is, would have no problem with it. some of their people would use it themselves.

companies who never heard of it wouldn't have any bad impression about it.

if they never heard about it but are wary/scared of everything they never heard of, might not be safe to work there. that's the kind of place that would test their workers' loyalty randomly, and not reciprocate any loyalty they receive.

and not reciprocate any loyalty they receive.

You get far bigger payment increase if you are not loyal.

by moving to a different employer, i guess.

did you mean by betraying coworkers? maybe some people like that idea. I'm strongly against it.

either way, i would avoid such a company.

Ah, no, bad wording. By switching company after a few years, you get a far larger increase in payment than if you stay. At least in IT.
