> maybe you think it makes sense to put PE and whatever certs you have after your name in professional emails I've always thought that to be a bit weird. The only time it makes sense to me is in official communication where you are specifically asserting your expertise. My manager has MBA after his name in all the emails he sends. IMO that comes off as really pretentious. But maybe this should be true of most titles. Should a medical doctor point out their title at all times, even when they're not representing themselves as anything other than average citizen?

Licensure, like PE, CPA, CFA, MD, DO, etc. is definitely relevant in a lot of context, so I'd actually expect it to be listed on a website in a lot of cases and probably part an email sig. Doctor for medically-oriented professional degrees is somewhat orthogonal but it is customary. PhDs is more questionable outside of academia (where people deeply care about this sort of thing). But MBA? Outside of an alumni context I'm not sure I have ever seen someone do that. (This isn't a particular poke at MBAs. I'd feel the same way about an M.Eng.)
