Entry level FP&A to High Finance?

Spring 2023 Finance grad non target (Chose to play D2 sports). I interned for an accounting/advisory company over the summer and am pursuing an MBA at night while studying for the CFA(school will sponsor Level 1). I have no luck on jobs and am interviewing for an FP&A/Accounting based role that involves a lot month, quarter, year end close, budgeting and that type of stuff. I was wondering on what my chances are of breaking into some area of high finance down the road. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
