it depends... if you work in a buy side firm then CFA is more or less a standard requirement as you progress, if you work in a bank (in a business role) it is less useful but perhaps nice to have

if you work in IT it probably isn't going to change much for you - you're unlikely to suddenly become a trader, portfolio manager just because you studied for a CFA. Maybe it would help with moving into a business analyst role but it is rather a lot of effort for fairly marginal gain not to mention not really required.

MBA more useful if you're actually progressing through an organisation - sure if you're from some target school then you can do a few years in the workforce then go for an MBA and carry on in your top banking, consulting etc.. career. If you're not that profile then it is of limited use unless you're actually progressing career wise.

It isn't uncommon to see IT people with CFA these days working in banks... yet it isn't the golden ticket for them to move from their QA, support, whatever... role.

I have seen one indian guy, working in first line application support with both 'CFA' and 'MBA' in his e-mail sig, and he wasn't really any more competent at his job or at understanding functional/business issues than anyone else in the team.

these things will take a lot of work to complete, only you are really in a position to figure out if they're going to offer significant benefit to you or just marginal benefit for the amount of effort you're going to have to put in to obtain them.
