Series exam for ER

I'm trying to break into biotech ER. I recently passed the SIE and am considering series 63 next. Would having the series 63 help with the job search or should I wait until I get a job? I'm also considering CFA but heard mixed opinions about it. Any suggestions?

Thanks! I have been networking and reaching out to people. I agree that CFA is a huge time and cost commitment but I'm leaning towards it because it might come in handy if I ever want to move out of US.
