Career Advice - where can I end up?

Hi everyone,

I am currently getting ready to start my FMAP role at Bank of America. I was wondering what roles I will be able to get after working in my first corporate finance job. How do I make my mark? Will I be able to become a CFO with my experience if I change companies or stay the course? Where can I lateral to get some of the higher paying roles? Should I go for an MBA?

I am looking for general advice into how to effectively prepare for my career, and get into senior roles. There seems to be little advice for a guide for working back office jobs.
