Importance of CFA?

Is it necessary to sit for CFA exam if you plan on being in banking over course of your career or transition into senior role at corporate? I know that it's a big investment and time commitment, so I'm debating. Plus, it's hard since we rarely have any free time to study for the exam.

Any thoughts????
