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).
