is it too late to get into Ib

Not sure how to go about this but is it too late for me to get into IB. I currently finished my undergrad degree and have a 3.3 CGPA. Is there still a chance I can get into IB maybe if I do a masters? Was thinking of getting a masters of finance? or maybe cfa would be better? Has anyone been able to do this before?

Masters or CFA won't help you. CFA is 100% useless for IB (better for AM/ER) and masters is really only for already well-prepared kids who just need an extra year to recruit, you won't be able to make up for your sitution with it.

Get a job somewhere in finance, can be like FP&A or anything tangentially finance-related, work for 2-3 years and go to a M7/top 15 MBA. Very very well-tested path to IB and you can go straight to a top bank instead of floundering around at tiny shops trying to move up.
