I'm split on this. If it's an industry-specific cert then yes. 

If you have an online MBA from Columbia College Hollywood then you look desperate.

If you have an MBA from Stanford but it's the basis of your personality I know you're a douche.

Yes if you are a PHD or MD or CPA. See where I'm going with this?

Unless it has direct correlation to your role/industry (CPA, required designations for the industry,) nobody gives a fuck. 

Actually nothing makes me roll my eyes more than seeing a salesperson brag about their MBA. Cool, and yet here we are…me with my puny lil college diploma and u with your fancy MBA. Same title same earnings. Big whoop.

Hate knowing that I spend 5 years of my life, hundreds of thousands of dollars, got two degrees, and the only thing that applies to my role was the 1 non-required class that I could have learned on youtube.

Should have just skipped school and become an SDR instead of having two degrees then becoming an SDR.

Is it relevant to your current job or the one you are seeking for the next move? Then yes. If not, keep that alphabet soup to yourself.

I actually judge if people *do* put MBA in their title.

Not sure about MBA because it looks aweful to me, but why not for the licensed certification

Only losers put MBAs into their title. It’s on your resume.
I think only MD should have it in their title. Even CPA seems silly, it’s one the profile / resume
If you are actively trying to find a job then maybe it’s okay but I’d remove it once you are hired

I get it. Some folks shelled out a lot of cash/debt for grad school. If you think it'll help you break in, establish more street cred, etc etc - then send it bruh!!

I swear people go get their master’s just to put it in their name on LinkedIn. Everyone I know that has one is in the same job pool as me (I have a BA)

No way - as soon as I see people with that shit, my dickhead radar is in full flow. Same goes for people that call themselves doctors outside of a hospital instead of Mr/Mrs/Ms/Miss/whatever - even more so for those that aren't real doctors - if you can't fix my broken arm, you aren't a bloody doctor

I put "yes" but I go as far as BA, which still seems to open doors at most companies or flat out be a requirement.

I literally could give no less fucks what letters you put next to your name. Buy or go away.

The private photo, but public LinkedIn profile. Should you do this if you're hot as a nice surprise once connected? Or if you're ugly to remove bias?
