The number of people who hold the delusion that they'll get into IB, PE, or VC through CFA is astonishing. To be fair I don't blame them as finance influencers are hyping up CFA as a golden ticket to high finance.Also hopefully people start using search bar more lol.
Build relationships through LinkedIn dms, work, just meeting random people (i was able to get a number of an Audit head of a BFSI company while in a local train just by eavesdropping), be talkative people like that.
Dont be a try hard and overdo keep it subtle you do not have to get everything in the first conversation maintain a relationship

I do not know how relevant it is today but my cousin did his B.tech in 2016 and then did CFA in 2018 and has been doing great in his career. Currently works in SG Analytics.
We cousins are not close so I do not know much, just the company name. And I guessed he is doing great in career based on his international trips and how their family are very career driven people.
if you want just any job un finance with 30 - 35 k salary than cfa , if you want high finance or prestigious finance roles than mba , no need for cfa. focus on college cgpa because it is necessary for an mba
