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?

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.
