Would you add MFE after your name?

[Andy Nguyen]

This is an interesting question. I've seen people put CFA, MBA, PhD and other designations after their name on business card, email signature, LinkedIn profile name, etc

So why not John Smith, MFE?

Because MFE is not a designation. Most of the MFE programs are not even called MFE. All MBA programs are called MBA. All PhD programs are called PhD.

If MFE was a standard certification or designation then I would use it. I would just say.. for me..

Joy Pathak (M.Sc, BSc.) if at all.

Would agree - and drop the undergrad as its generally implied. I guess nearly all (if not all?) MFEs are M.Sc

Since most MFE candidates have multiple degrees/designations there comes a point where it just becomes silly.

I like the P.Eng.

I have to google P.Eng, so that says something. Guess it's a Canadian thing?
So you are saying Master degree is not a designation but PhD is? How about CQF?

Is there a definite answer for this? Even for people with MBA, people will argue the merits of using it as suffix

I don't claim to know this but I think it's an interesting debate to hear what others are thinking. After all, a lot of people work really hard and pay dearly for this

Maybe one could use CQF as I guess it is a popular certification within quant finance. I personally would not use MFE. Some would have MFE, MQF, MFQ, MMF... It doesn't make sense.I would just write Masters or something.

It's an engineer thing.
