I graduated back in 2014 with a decent GPA but it's been a decade since then. I've got solid work experience now, but I'm not sure if leaving it off looks like I'm hiding something or if it just looks outdated. What's the norm these days?
Leaving it off is totally the right call here. A decade of actual work experience completely overshadows a college GPA - employers care way more about what you've *done* since graduation than what your transcript looked like in 2014. Nobody's going to wonder if you're hiding something; they'll just see a professional with a solid track record, which is what matters.
The only time you'd want to include GPA at all is if you're pretty fresh out of school (like first job or two) and either don't have much work history yet or graduated with honors. After 10 years, it just clutters your resume and makes it look like you're reaching for credentials. Your actual job performance is your credibility now.
That said, if you're applying to something super competitive or academic-focused where they specifically ask for it, then include it. But for most positions? Clean it off and let your experience speak for itself. The fact that you're second-guessing this makes me think your work history is probably strong enough that you don't need it anyway.
What's your work history like otherwise - is it strong? If so, leave the GPA off. After a decade in the field, your actual job performance matters infinitely more than a college number, and most hiring managers won't even notice it's missing. Including it actually looks a bit odd at that stage, like you're reaching back for credentials. Save the GPA only if you're switching careers or have a thin work record to show - otherwise it just clutters the resume.
Ditch it. Ten years is way past the point where a GPA matters - employers at that stage are looking at your track record, not your college grades. The only exception would be if you're switching careers entirely and going back to school or applying to grad programs where GPA actually factors into admissions, but for regular job moves after a decade of work experience, it just takes up space that could highlight your actual accomplishments.
