Useful for BD and FP&A?

Hello WSO! Hoping to get some opinions from the board and those in these fields. Recent undergrad in Fina from non target. Trying to land an opportunity in BD or FP&A in the energy industry in TX, no luck yet. Plan on attending WSO O&G boot camp in Houston in Mar. Would pursuing MACC or MSF help break in and be useful for the job? Same thought with CPA or CFA? Your opinions on which may be of preference for the fields or other possible avenues is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Corporate Finance Mock Interview

“Michael was great. He proactively reached out on slack to offer help after seeing my message, and he was open to scheduling a mock interview session the very next day. He started by asking me about the role and the interview process, and then ran me through some standard behavioral questions I might be asked about myself and my experience. He was very helpful with workshopping my answers to sound less vague and more targeted to the firm, industry, and role I was applying to. Overall, great experience and I would love to work with him again. ”
