CFA® Question - Question for any charter holders

Just a question for any charterholders out there, or someone with more detailed knowledge of the work experience requirement that CFA® Institute sets.

I'm sitting for Level III in June, at which point I will have 1 full year of work experience in ER. If I pass the exam, I know that I still have three years required before I can become a charterholder.

My question is what happens for the three years in between? Do I have to annually do something to still be a "Candidate of good standing", or do I just have to wait the time out without doing anything else until I meet the requirement?

RavenousNo you don't have to do anything. Submit your work ex after four years, pay your membership fee, and frame that bitch.

This is correct.

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
