In that example, it should have been first-hand or firsthand. When multiple words are used together as an adjective, in this case an adjective-noun pair, those two should become hyphenated. I just wrote another example -- it's 'adjective-noun' because the two words are used as an adjective for pair, even though they would not ordinarily be hyphenated.

For the same reason, asking "is it 'first hand' or 'first-hand'" would be meaningless, because it depends on the context, unless a stylistic choice is made to write 'firsthand' instead

I remember my first handjob mentoring day. They sent out a blast email for all the students to bring their own lube and I remember Jackie brought in a quart of Valvoline motor oil. 🤣

I love Oxford commas, but I don't see how that'd help with the students' first, hand-job experience.
