IB Operations -> MO/FO Role

This summer, I will be starting full time at a BB in their Ops department. With the free time from corona, I was wondering what certification/test would open the most doors for me? I do not necessarily have a career "end goal" in mind, but am interested in learning more about Finance. I have a good amount of technical skills under my belt as well (R, C++, & econometrics type analysis). I have been debating actuary exams, CFA, or GMAT for business school....kind of lost as to what would be the best path to take.
