Currently graduating from a MFin Non-Target and contemplating doing the CFA while working in BO.
Is it worth it and what can I do after the CFA in this position?

There are too many of them in Canada - BO, even financial advisers + CFA. Unfortunately CFA does not weight much in IB. I passed all 3 levels myself and half of my friends are charter holders. I fully recognize the value of the program - still powerful in ER and AM. If you have the tenacity, it would not be too hard to transition from ER to IB.
Valuable to ER or AM, although you'd likely need to stop somewhere else first coming from BO. Level 2/3 are especially valuable if you can do it.
Not worth it for IB or PE, they do not care
