Career Preparation

I would like to ask you guys professionals some questions. I am now a first-year graduate student in Econ in NYU. I am from China and my undergraduate major is Econometrics. That is basically who I am. I career goal is heading into the BB, so I would like to ask some advice.

1) First, what do I need to do to prepare for the future career?

2) Do I need to take the CFA exam? What on earth is CFA for?

3) Is BB really a great place to work in? What else do you guys recommend?
