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?

You should use Gmail. Reason being some lazily designed IT systems block emails that come from easy-to-register domains, and Proton among others frequently end up on the list.

If you're an email purist and want to fight the corporations that do the lazy blocking by letting them miss your emails, go ahead, but it might not be the most effective protest.
