There is something I see on LinkedIn from people I happen to know never graduated: they list the years they were at university and their subject. It’s not technically lying, and most people never notice.

would also be weird to omit the years entirely tho, right?

Not really, if they were right at the beginning of your career - quite normal for people to trim their CVs like that, esp. these days.

that makes sense, just be weird if you dont finish your masters to have you bachelor, then a few years of nothing, and then your first job. I'd put the master course there too, but perhaps include a note that you didn't graduate?

People do all sort of weird stuff on LinkedIn, I take it all with a pinch of salt!

I’m pretty close to just listing that I was a Stanford graduate and seeing how it affects my LinkedIn profile. Seems like no one would really bother to check anything anyway.
