I came across someone on LinkedIn who does | thing | with his job title and he included Ex-Deloitte. I’ve seen ex-MBB and ex-FAANG but never Deloitte. Are people getting a little too generous with the Ex- monicker?

Exactly! I think the subheading rather is an opportunity to summarize what you are passionate about. Like it should be used for what are the top three things that you would like someone to know about you once they view your page! The education and work history anyway comes!

I don’t even put my role at mck; just what type of work I do….

Most are doing it to rank higher in search but I’m not sure it’s really helping them.

I also saw it for an ex team member!! Guess it’s a thing now!!! 🤷🏻‍♀️

It can be relevant if he/she left to an industry position and want to highlight their background. People who have worked one of the big four, especially if it's for 5 years or more, share certain attributes and common skills that are the result of the corporate cultures of these firms...

This is the dumbest thing.

Anyone can get hired and muddle along at one of these companies.

That description line should be what you are passionate about and can actually do
