That all depends on who you talk to 
Personally, I think you should join the IFA as soon as you can (PIFA is easily attainable after 6months employment), emerse youself in the active debate going on here and go for it.
At the moment its the IFA or nothing. It does have its faults, but it is changing. If you have the energy, get yourself and all you know involved in the sub-commitees. Change will occur when enough of the membership want it to.
(I really have worked in the field)
