Can we talk a bit about professional e-mail addresses?
Obviously an e-mail meant for professional use should be limited to your name when filing resumes and use your company's domain name ( if they have one ) when work is involved. Focusing on the prior of the two, what fields of work would or should one have their own domain name when engaging companies( [email protected] vs johnb.smith@[customdomainnamehere].com )? Is it okay to use your birth-year in such an e-mail address? Which domains should one avoid?
I have a firstnamelastname@gmail for professional use and then my [email protected] for signing up to websites, video games, and other stupid shit.

I think my name must be more common than I thought because everywhere I go I sadly am finding my name is in use using your formula.
use cock.li

I'm lucky that my firstnamelastname@ is basically available on any email platform. I use it for my Gmail account, and of course Gmail is the standard for personal emails. When people have private domains for a personal address I think they are tryhards faggots

that's not a question you can answer in abstract and you probably don't need an abstract answer anyway.
if you think your name or domain might hurt your chances, then don't use them. it's not even worth worrying about.
[email protected] is probably not going to fly while [email protected] probably won't raise an eyebrow. unless it's obviously trashy i don't think many people will care. do be prepared that the domain will be visited though. if someone has a custom domain you bet your ass i'm going to check out their site. i'm using a custom domain myself. sometimes i even create new addresses for specific purposes like [email protected].
you have firstnamelastname, firstname.lastname, firstname_lastname, initiallastname, initial.lastname, initial_lastname and dozens of other combinations - you're seriously telling me you can't register a professional looking free email address? personally i'm not a huge fan of birth years to be honest...
<firstname>.<middle initial>.<last name>@gmail.com
>[email protected]
