Leave GPA on Resume?
I wanted to ask if it's worth putting a GPA of 3.4 on my resume or just leave it off and put my higher major GPA? Will recruiters just ding me if I don't have it on there?

put both on there
I guess writing both would be the best approach here
I was at some online fireside chat with a recruiter and she said leave the GPA out if it's below 3.3. So I guess OP is in the green

Put both. If you have a 3.4, there is basically no upside to leaving off your GPA as no recruiter is going to think a candidate with a 3.5 left off their GPA out of humility or because it wasn’t as high as some of their peers.
If you leave it to the recruiter’s imagination, however, they will likely assume your GPA is lower than it really is. It obviously depends on the screener, but if there’s no GPA listed on a resume, I assume it’s below 3.0.
