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?

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 [email protected], or [email protected] I'm not immediately binning it, but you are starting from a disadvantage. [email protected] is 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!

harmlessdomain.com is available - I expect to see it registered by tomorrow or I'm never trusting a stranger on the internet ever again!
