Is CFA membership a money sink?

[mlwl8521]

I was just told that it costs 275 bucks a year to be featured in the membership database online. Is that a sucker play? Should I just wait until I pass L3 in 2017?

Depends. You get a copy of FAJ every month, deals on networking events and some CFA magazine. Is it worth it? Dunno. Its just $275. Depends on your hurdle rate I guess.

pay the money, it’s like donating to church. The CFA gods could bestow favor on you one day
