Will using non-gmail hurt my chance of getting hired?
-
I don't think it should matter and if it did matter, do you really want to work for such small-minded judgmental people? The people who would care about an uncommon email domain would probably also see it as a "red flag" if you say that you don't use certain social media sites. Don't waste your time playing pointless image games.

I use public@mydomain. Hasn't negatively affected me. I created a burner Gmail account for a Google Meet interview and then tossed it aside after. I've been hired for two jobs in eight years using the public@ address.

What you did with that time is our own business. The only thing that matters is why your current skills are relevent for the job.
-
experience teaches me that your likeability matters more
-
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. -
It will not hurt your chances.

I don't see any reason why it would affect your application(s) in the slightest. A good CV is a good CV. You could have @goatfondler.com for all I care.

Protonmail is a widely used and common email provider. There is no reason why an employer would be prejudiced against your application based on you having a Protonmail address. I think a far more common thing employers think about when seeing applicants' email addresses are things like "haha, they're still using their email address from when they were 8 of alexdaboss at gmail dot com", but I highly doubt they care about what domain it's on unless you've got like a pornhub.com address or something.
-
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.

Proton leaked a user's IP address to law enforcement, you should seek alternatives. source: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/09/privacy-focused-protonmail-provided-a-users-ip-address-to-authorities/

I thought Google Workspace mailboxes aren't scanned?
-
I tried, and failed hard. When I bought my domain 10 years ago, I didn't put efforts in reseaching domain reputation and got a .xyz tld. Now my mail go straight into spam folder.
-
if your domain is like cock.li or smth then maybe, but protonmail.com sounds pretty professional
-
Hey, I still got one.
-
Google Workspaces still have spam filtering in place, it'd be unusable if not. Admins can create rules for additional scanning if needed. You could also check the MX record to see if you're actually sending to Google first, or a third party scanner who then forwards to Google Workspace.

Great! I can finally relax about my @ryongnamsan.edu.kp email.
-
They do say that. And I can't say they'd tell us if they started. But for the moment let's assume they still don't. I also can't say that they'd tell us if the government asked them to. But let's put a pin in that too.
They do not claim not to scan the SMTP and mail transport. We know that they do scan it try to discern spam.
Do you trust them not to sell that juicy email they just scanned from an external email address?
-
It's all good, especially now that they have proton.me when it was protonmail.com I had some issues saying it over the phone as some people didn't understand and it is long to spell.

@umami_wasbi Getting hired for what exactly?
My gut feeling is it might decrease your chance of getting hired by an average soul destroying big corporate, but increase your chances of being hired by a better company that values autonomy and people who think differently.
