Questions about undergrad GPA
Why can you start to leave your GPA off the resume (aka how many years of work experience do you need to have)? Is there a huge difference between a 3.5/3.6/3.7 and how does it impact your long term career trajectory?
Intern in PE - Other, bummer your thread hasn't had a response yet. Sometimes bots are smarter than humans anyways:

I had wrote a response to this and than deleted - hoping someone in the "PE" industry could better assist.
As per consulting/general -
I only left my GPA on the resume for my very first job. The job was converted from an internship, but they did request an updated resume when I started full-time and so I had left the GPA on.
But for my second and third job (my second was 1.5 years after), I decided to remove it from my resume as I was looking for "experienced professional" jobs. Jobs based on my previous experience and not really based straight on my academics. I still often see some experienced jobs asking for it, but just fill out that box and move on. If your GPA is crap - leave it off and wait till they ask you. If your GPA is good, you can leave it on - up to you.
I mean 3.5 vs 3.7 is only a small difference B+/A-. But in professional world - no one really cares as much, as they do more so about your job and how good of a colleague you are. It does affect some, but who cares?

Did you just leave your GPA off and they wouldn't ask for it?
After my first job - I started to leave it off of my resume. If any employer wanted to know it - the HR would simply email and ask or ask when they call. I found it and still find it stupid to be judged on my GPA as an "experienced professional", rather than looking at my work achievements.
Very helpful, thanks.
