Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

This is an interesting thread. I'm curious to hear why a lot of you think it's only appropriate to list a certification and not an advanced degree. Both require a lot of hard work and dedication. How is it "pretentious" to mention you have a MBA or any other advanced degree, but it's not an issue when a certification is listed? I mainly see people list their certifications and degrees on LinkedIn, work email signatures, business cards, and resumes. Considering all of these are career related I can't imagine why it would be viewed as something negative. I know several people who attended top tier schools and because of this they make sure they highlight their degrees. The only time I think it could be perceived as overkill is if someone always included their degree and certification with their name (even on things not affiliated with their career). Even if this were the case, I would just assume they were extremely proud of their accomplishment and wouldn't necessarily use it against them.
BA 1 - Name a job where an MBA is required to perform the essential scope of professional functions. You can’t. Now do the same for MD, CPA, and CFA. Notice a difference? That’s why you don’t include MBA after your name. If I’m a recruiter for positions that require the aforementioned certifications or a current/prospective client, it’s important to know the person I’m reviewing is properly qualified without spending unnecessary time digging to confirm. An MBA qualifies you for jack. And this is coming from someone who has an MBA from a top program.

It’s ghetto
Appropriate at school/alumni functions when you wish to indicate which program you were in.
Otherwise, never.
Never. It’s a degree. It’s neither a professional title nor a certification. Nobody cares how “hard” you worked for it.
1. Never
2. How is any of this “ghetto”?

Don’t forget to put your undergrad on there too. Nothing gets views like BBA after a name
Only thing lamer is putting your GMAT score on your LinkedIn
Ya, only ones I see do that are online MBA, etc.
Only if your CFP is certified financial panther
CFA and CPA are the only usually acceptable ones after your name. But even that is ghetto
@Capco - Get out of here. Lol. It’s never kosher to write MBA on LinkedIn or on your resume. Instant decline
I have mostly seen this at clients where some 35-40 year old went to the local state college to get their MBA/waste their money.
If you have if after your name then the whole world knows to went to a T-5000 school where all you need is a pulse to get in.
Just checking - I’ve never included it! Feel like I have to say that for the record, ha!
Never ever, don’t be a douche

I always though it was ok if it was a terminal degree (PhD, md, pharmd, jd, etc) but not really for anything else. I like the way ey described it however, cpa and cfa also could be listed on your resume in education or certifications . Some employers prefer mbas (not necessarily required) so I would in that sense it may be important. Generally I agree it’s not necessary and will continue to exclude the MBA (from a top 20 school) after my name
