CFA Societes benefits, waiting, around, before, worth

Penny-wenny

When is an appropriate time to join one? I am waiting on my results from L1. Afterwards a pass is a good time to join? I live around NYC so was thinking the NYSSA. Does anyone want to share when they joined/benefits or are in the NYSSA? Is it worth joining before passing L2?

Tikka does the Indian branch have a hot receptionist as well?

I registered after sitting for L3 last month - hoping I didn't jinx myself...

The Indian society has regular meetings and I haven't been to any. So I can't really say. I joined because it was free after April 1st. My membership has now lapsed and I'll pay the dues if I pass.

Some societies have to be worth it. But I wouldn't know which. Nyssa sounds like a good one.

Tikka, are there any benefits to being a member as a person who has only passed level 1? I guess I'm trying to find out if paying the dues is worth it beyond saying you belong the association?

You can become a regular member if your work experience is approved and you pass level 1. I'm a regular member of the Indian version of Nyssa in this regard even though I am not (yet) a charterholder.

You can become a regular member if your work experience is approved and you pass level 1. I'm a regular member of the Indian version of Nyssa in this regard even though I am not (yet) a charterholder.

NYSSA has an associate membership for non-charterholders. They also have a student membership. I don't know what other local societies do.

Do all local societies have 4 year work experience requirements? I just took level 2 and if I pass I was just going to try to join even though I don't even have a year of we.

Yeah, I joined after passing L3 while I'm waiting for my work experience to kick in. My company picks up the dues. If they didn't, no way I would have joined.

I joined the San Francisco society as a regular member after I passed L1 because I had enough work experience.
