“inactive CFA member” technically doesn’t mean anything because you can become a CFAI member without passing a single exam.  If you’re going to drop the charter WHILE you are looking for a job, you might as well not bother.  IMO all that says is “too cheap to pay the dues” or “doesn’t give a sh!t”.
I wouldn’t have a problem with the dues if they were spent on something worthwile, like making the CFA a more prestigious designation.  Instead, they spend the money on things like idiotic logo designs.
