I mean CPA after your name might look weird on your Facebook profile, but LinkedIn is a network for professionals and I don’t see why you wouldn’t show your qualifications/designations.

This is old news. Discussed a lot. Go cringe by yourself in the corner then, some people are proud of their accomplishment.

If this is referring to the MBA post from yesterday, CPA is a license/designation, MBA is a degree. No one puts BBA after their name either

Or the EA post before the MBA post?? Either way it’s all getting kind of old…

No. CPA is licensed title. My position/title requires a CPA license.

Why? Linkedin is not a place to meet your next girl or man, its a place where you sell yourself and everything you can in order to capture the attention of recruiters and have the best exit opportunities. You're an idiot!

I used to remember being surprised when CPAs wouldn’t put it after their name. LinkedIn is for connecting with professionals. The only reason why I wouldn’t is if I wasn’t actively using my license and switched careers. We aren’t doctors so not as much schooling but heck it took me 5 years of school and 4 exams + money to get it so why not.

The whole reason I got the CPA was so that people knew I was qualified. The entire point of professional certifications is for people to know you have them lmao. Why would I not have it on a professional networking site
