Should you keep your class year off of resume?

Have heard some instances where companies will use your class year to estimate how many YOE (years of experience) you have to determine how much to pay you rather than how well your skillset fits the job description. Should we keep our class years off of our resume/LinkedIn to facilitate more productive conversations?

I’m not too concerned with it either way. I try to know the market comp going into interviews and have an idea of what I want / should make. If someone lowballs me, then I tell them to piss off (respectfully, of course). If a company tries to pay you less than you’re qualified to make, it’s not somewhere you should want to work so I see it as you get to learn that they’re assholes now vs later.
