I did exactly that a few days ago when I read about the AI interviews. Using Tuta now.

Fuuck moving email is such a bother. Thankfully I do have my own domain, so it's not that bad, but looking for a new provider sucks.
What's the recommended alternative?
If you use an email alias software like addy.io, email basically becomes ephemeral. Change providers whenever you want and just change the forwarding address for the alias.
Also helps with internet hygeine to have a different random email for every account.
Since nobody mentioned it here yet, Mozilla has a similar service called Firefox Relay and it's super straightforward and a joy to use. I used it to create an alias for every service (some 400+) that has my email address and now I can just block emails going to any alias of a compromised account and set up a new one.
Unfortunately that just moves the single point of failure to the aliasing service.
I use SimpleLogin, which was bought by Proton a while back.
I'm basically doing that with my domain. Have a vaguely corporate sounding domain, and just generate random firstname.lastname per service, on a catch-all address.
Thanks. Did.

Cancelled my Visionary Plan. That gives a bit of time to migrate off the platform.
