Leaving Deloitte for a new opportunity in a few weeks.

Real talk, is dropping “Ex-Deloitte” on my LinkedIn bio a net positive or negative in your eyes?

Do not do that ever, makes it seem like wherever you are now is not as great as where you were. Don’t look back.

Would you put “ex boyfriend/girlfriend to” on your dating profile ?

I think this only makes sense if you leave a very prestigious brand to go somewhere no-name that needs to establish its credentials (like an early stage startup).

If you’re doing that...maybe. But it still looks tacky. As someone else commented...it’s right there on your LinkedIn/in your resume.

If you need to ask whether a company/school/etc is prestigious and look for a way to justify why it's prestigious, then it's not.

It's like when people attend European MBA programs and note on their LinkedIn that ESADE or whatever is the 5th best MBA program according to some ranking. Nobody from HBS would do this and by pointing out your school's ranking you just look desperate and insecure and clearly not prestigious.

I can imagine a few instances where putting "Ex-[Name]" can be helpful (reaching out to recruiters whilst unemployed, founding a startup but unless you have a clear reason as to why you'd need to do it, I say don't bother putting it on LinkedIn.

When meeting a new potential romantic interest for the first time would you introduce yourself with, “hi, I’m OP, ex-boyfriend/girlfriend of so-and-so”? If you wouldn’t do that, then don’t do essentially the same thing on LinkedIn.

If you associate any ounce of self worth you have with working for Deloitte, go ahead. However, any logical person will look at you as an insecure self loathing weirdo which anyone who puts an ‘ex-anything’ is in real life.

That last line..woaahh

Ex-[insert an actually impressive company] is probably best for folks who are solo consultants or building a startup and want that added ethos.
