TOPIC: Is it cringe to add PMP® in my last name on LinkedIn?

Kinda find it cringe to add it but was told it works great for LinkedIn visibility. Would love to connect with more project managers but don't want to seem off putting, what do you guys think?

Also, who do you follow on Linkedin for PMP news or updates?

Henrie,

I come from a generation where you add no more than two professional certifications and a terminal degree after your name. I guess "cringe" is in the eye of the beholder.

Hi,

I had this when I became a PMP back in 2018.
Meanwhile I have removed it, cause if I wanted to state all my Credentials there (like others do) it would become a Looooong Name; and THAT is cringe.

However, if you feel it is right for you and you want to show pride in your achievement, why not (at least for some time); nothing wrong with it, from my perspective.

And in terms of whom you should follow ... well, ME of course. (My profile link is in the footer here.)
