GPA vs. Work Experience

Hello All,

I am interested in joining a reputable bank/consulting firm as a financial analyst. I have 5 years work experience as a financial analyst and am a CFA charterholder. I went to a reputable University but only earned a 3.3 GPA. Will my GPA be a detriment to me when it comes to finding a job or will my work experience and credentials be the determining factor? I reside in the United States for your information. Thank you all for your time.
