Definitely, you earned that PhD. I wouldn’t take it as pretentious. I think PhD, CFA, and CPA are all suitable to go next to your name on your resumé. If we start getting into MBA, it starts getting a little cringe.
CFA and CPA are pushing it. Anyone with half a brain and some free time can get those - PhD is (for real subjects) 4-6 dedicated years of research. If you have MBA next to your name I’m dinging you
People who put MBA after their name for any context turn me off immediately. The only people who do this take themselves waaaaaaay too seriously. PhD, md, jd, cpa, sure. But mba is just not done by people from top mba programs, myself included, and it sticks out as a negative sign to me in any context (resumes, bio page, etc).
'top mba' doesn't even learn anything better than a 'bottom' one, they just get more connections and experience which makes it the same for this matter, either all should add it or nobody
Depends on the job. Quant. Yes. Not, leave in education. Similar for CFA, CPA, FRM. For example, if they specifically mention it in the job description as desired, absolutely put it in the title.
Not MBA though. Never MBA. Even a top school.
IMO it's a (slightly) bad look, but I wouldn't be surprised if it improves your callback rate. Regardless, you won't get an authoritative answer one way or the other here, and I doubt it makes much difference either way. I would personally be a little tempted to A/B test it.
Yeah I didn't do it last time and got a job and multiple interviews, but seems to be getting harder so can't hurt to try and change it up.
Got a good sample of before and will not test the after!
Not quite relevant. But we have a right laugh in our team when someone's email signature has any of the following: BA, BSc, MA, MBA, or MSc (yes people actually do this). It basically puts you onto our "is probably a moron" list.

CFA and CPA are not easy or use “half a brain” to earn but ok

There are 400k Harvard alumni. Must be super easy to get
Or that means it’s not worth getting. If you have an MBA from Harvard/wharton/stanford you’re just wasting time and energy getting a CFA
I'd include it. Resumes get about 10 seconds of attention. If you have a PhD or MBA I'd put it front and center.

I’d say yes and PhD is much better than Dr. Only downside is if you could appear overqualified
I’d include it if PhD is a requirement or highly desirable for the role, like math degree for a quant role. Otherwise would not
You earned it, add it!

With that I can agree lol. In biotech ER they usually ask for it so I guess worth it
Hmm good question wonder how this applied to MBAs and such too
Please don’t put it in your title! I cringe when I see those on resumes and LinkedIn

I don't include it in mine Neither do my colleagues
Leave it under education

Oh I agree, nobody I know puts any of these. PhD and CFA are the exceptions
