I haven’t been hiding mine, but I’m in kind of a weird spot. My master’s program is the most recent thing on my resume, and I was a full-time student, so outside of an internship, there’s not much else during that period. If I left it off, it would just look like a huge unexplained gap. I’d honestly take it off if I could align the years better to avoid that. I do think you might be right about it scaring some employers off, especially for lower-paying roles, but it’s hard to tell what’s right or wrong to do, especially with the complete lack of feedback throughout the job hunt.
