In my industry org, we're encouraged to list credentials and certs in our email signatures. To be a bit of a dick about it, I've listed everything that's still active going back to my first certs from back in 2008/2009, but the MBA is the one thing I refuse to list. 😂

Rule of thumb I was told and that I stick with is to put degrees/certs that provide you some type of licensure/legal ability, think CPA, JD, Esq., MD and to avoid those that do not like MBA, MS, or those that are useless like PMP

like

EY4: agreed this is the model I was “raised” on professionally. You use certifications letters when there is a legal liability/code that you have to abide by/could be held accountable for, i.e CPA/CA, CFA, P.Eng, MD etc. ...something I can guarantee the MBA does not have
