What are your thoughts about putting credentials next to your name on Linkedin?

[berlinerd]

In my opinion, in LinkedIn it's better to leave in "profile description" rather than add a title or an extension of a name. The title is awkward nowadays, it's my honest opinion. Especially, when you see a 500 IQ person with a "regular Joe" name and their achievements/position/personality say a lot, and a person who is clearly trying to sell something having "LLB, LLM, DJur" in their name. I think MD is an exception, as this is a very special case.

I'm going to push back on that a bit. 

Why should the title "MD" be regarded with more significance compared to other doctoral degrees? A doctor licensed in one state or country may not be permitted to practice in another, raising the question of the practical value of this designation in a global professional network. So, what makes an MD such an exception that it ought to be given a pass while other doctorate-holders should renounce their title? Furthermore, for individuals not seeking medical advice or services, the immediate relevance of identifying someone as an MD in their LinkedIn profile would be minimal.

I am truly interested in your thought process here.

I did not say that other doctorate holder should renounce their title. You quote my message and at the same time add new merits to it which I did not say.
