I wouldn't go so far as
totally different; surely achieving a senior rank also isn't a given
and takes a lot of hard work? In my opinion that hard work earns you the right to
not need to use former rank or post-nominals, aside from highly specific circumstances.
As for the ridiculous practice of stating a Bachelor degree post-nominal on an email signature... do people even still do that? This level of qualification is hardly rare nowadays.
