Thoughts on leaving GPA off resume? I have 5 YOE @ a Big 4, and multiple project experience relating directly to an innovation strategy role im applying to.

Is leaving my resume off a red flag? I had a 3.4

No need for gpa 2 years after college.

Really don’t need GPA anymore unless it’s your first job, or the prospective employer specifically asks for it.

DELETE IT! :)

I’d say there’s no need to ever include GPA on resume unless you’re fresh out of school or have >3.8, but even then it’s still questionable.

Keep it if you think that it will help you get the job. Leave it off if you think it will hinder you.

With a 3.4, I would leave it off.

Have never had it on. Never been an issue, and have yet to be asked about it.

Never had it on. I had a few questions about specific classes I took and the grades for them but never a full GPA. My GE classes are what brought my GPA down, not my major classes so it worked out.

Never had gpa on my resume

I graduated with honors, list that if you have it. No on GPA unless it was full marks.

I don't include gpa on resume. Very few companies ask for it.

Only seen PE deal side or IBD ask even for EH
For 99% of the roles, leave it off

Just round it up to 3.5, 3.5 is the minimum I would include. After a year education should be at the bottom of your resume anyways.

OP, do not do this if you think they’ll ask for a transcript. You’ll get kicked off the list right away for lying.

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.
