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?

Create a new email address for each round of job hunting if you’re going to apply to many places. I can guarantee this email will get spam for years to come. Job boards and recruiting firms sell and reuse email lists. You don’t want to still get spam offering you junior roles ten years into your career.

A Proton address is fine. Like others have said, keep it professional.
