The only real advantage to becoming a member prior to passing L3 is that once you pass L3, you don’t need to screw around with paperwork and finding sponsors since everything should be done. You may need to update your work experience if you don’t have 4 years but that is pretty easy to do via email. I suppose another advantage is access to the jobline on the CFAI website.
The downside is that you have to pay dues each year.
well all my stuff is already approved, and I got an email from CFAI to activate my membership (or basically pay up) this morning, so wondering if I should pay the $225 and activate it or wait till next year!?
Will the ability to activate your membership go away at some point so that you have to reapply? If not, then there’s no reason to pay until you pass L3.
I signed up as regular member just after i passed L2 just because my company is paying. Went on to fail L3 last year but when i passed L3 this year, there was no hassle of paperwork and was awarded the charter this month. So yes, would recommend it after you are not footing the bill for the dues.
