I am privacy conscious so I would like to use my proton.me account, but I wanted some advice. Should I use my gmail account for career related purposes or should a proton.me address be fine?

    I expect to learn that Google has been selling a “sentiment analysis” (measure of desperation) to potential employers, based on the contents on my Gmail inbox during my job search.

    So I no longer allow anything financial to go through Gmail.

    Source: just my suspicion, since it would compliment health and health insurance privacy horrors (MIB) and financial privacy invasions (credit scores, Equifax).

    It doesn’t matter too much, just make sure it’s professional and not something like rabbitfucker@gmail. You could also just make an address specifically for interviews or whatever.

    Is the proton.me a professional sounding name like your real name? or is it xxbussydestroyerxx or something?
