CFA® JobLine - Worth the Expense?
Has anyone paid the fee to access the CFA® JobLine database? I'm interested to see how many jobs are posted for someone looking to move laterally as an analyst with about a year and a half of experience.

interested too...
I got my current job off the CFA line (and the posting was exclusive to CFA). I currently have access as a Charterholder and my observation is that some good portion of the jobs are redundant between CFA, efinancial, Doostang and other job sites. Realistically, if you are in full search mode, it may make sense to pay the money and get a subscription for the possible incremental benefit, but it is not required, nor is it a hands down make or break decision. It's a "nice to have" if you don't mind shelling out $100 for 3 months or whatever the cost is these days.
I can tell you from an employer's perspective, the CFA line is probably better than most. The readership is lower than efinancial, but the costs to post are lower as well and you're more likely to eliminate a significant amount of chaff (most candidates will at least be in the program and somewhat serious about finance). I think a lot of the dupe posts are from recruiters and large employers -- smaller niche opportunities are unlikely to want to pay thousands to post on multiple sites (not to mention it is a headache to manage all of the sites anyway). If I were going to post a job, it would be unique to CFA (even though I hate the institute and would cringe at giving them money).
Having looked recently on the CFA site, there seems to be a decent amount of hiring for research analysts, primarily in the 1-3 year category from what I have seen (last several months), some in the 5+ category, and a pretty big void beyond that. Most of the posts I see are for jobs that are way too junior for me, but that could be a good thing for the average reader on this site.
