I don’t think that’s cringey at all. As long as you don’t have Harvard as your lead school when you only got an associates degree there, you’re good
I hate when people do that lol..
If you’re a student then I think it’s okay to say something like “MBA candidate ‘26.” If you’re a working professional it depends on the industry. For lawyers it’s generally frowned upon to use JD.
It's dependent upon the industry, but for an MBA or JD, exceptionally cringy
That's why I use DJ for mine, Doctor of Jurs'
Enthusiast
Not cringy. If you earned that degree, you should let people know.
No you should not, unless it’s a doctoral degree.
The whole point of LI is to market yourself. Why the eff would you not put MBA in your title if you had it?
Also, the only people I know who put “MBA” after their name went to no name schools or programs. If I see if I assume this person didn’t go to a top school.
That one doesn't bother me as much as seeing the additional certs that people put on there: John Doe MBA,CSM, QSSP, PMP. Like why?
Cause pimpin ain’t easy and they want everyone to know they’re certified in it
Recruiter here: It may actually help when recruiters are searching, think keyword search algorithm. More importantly, please be sure you put it in the education section so you will come up in searches for candidates with a masters degree. It's not your real resume. It's social media on a professional level.
It’s more common than you think. Not sure why folks feel the need to.
Yes, but if you're not cringey on LinkedIn, the community will ostracize you.
When I see it my first thought is that they are trying too hard, but to each their own.
Feel like the standard should be certifications behind names only, since they are essentially equal. I.e. getting CPA certified is the same across the country. MBAs are most definitely not all equal. But at the end of the day, who cares it doesn’t hurt anyone
Only a T10 MBA will really make a difference. Agree with the above that having a job at Amazon is why recruiters would be reaching out
It depends. I think it might be advisable for people from historically marginalized communities to promote their credentials a little more aggressively, in order to get a second look. Not sure if this description fits your case though.
Idk maybe it helps when recruiters view them. I’d say not cringey. I’ve seen much worse.
Why is it "cringy" as you put it? If someone has worked hard to earn an education, there is no reason for someone not to highlight that, especially on LinkedIn, which is intended for professional networking and job searching.
No.
It’s supposed to be for licenses and certifications
No but I don’t do it
I believe at one time it was considered advisable. I think that trend has changed.
Depends on the type of education. Law and business tend to do it. Business moreso before they have decent experience. People in health-related professions do as well, like social workers. It gets a bit weird for social sciences like "M.Ed" for masters in Education.
In general it's not a form of "cringe".
Extremely cringey and the only people who do that have an inferiority complex because they got their MBA from some no-name program.
Let me guess - you got your MBA at Babson and put ", MBA" after your name on LinkedIn
