Nobody cares about GPA once you’ve had a job. All they care about is if you have your CPA.
Keep it if you around 5 years out from school. After that, meh
Agreed. As a partner who has done a ton of experienced hire recruiting, I’d say if you have consistent employment and good experience for 5 years after graduation then the gpa won’t mean much. However, a gpa in your range is pretty darn good in my view so no harm in including it.
GPA is useless after you get your first job. Nobody cares If you graduated summa cum laude or something, that's worth noting, but GPA is excessive.
I put whatever honors I graduated with on there so that it conveys what I achieved without looking like I'm stuck in the past.
I put my masters gpa and then summa cum laude for my undergrad. They definitely looked at it on my resume and cared. Keep it on and maybe add one additional honor if its exceptional. Got the job so it couldn’t have hurt!
No one cares about your gpa after your first job
How far out of school? If you can add anything to your resume to make you look better, then add it
Include it. Firms actually pay attention to it given it's your first role out of PA
Include your honors if applicable cum laude magna sum laude etc
Did you graduate with Latin honors? If not it’s irrelevant. Especially if you have a CPA
