Intern Looking for Advice

I'm an intern at an Asset Management firm with a 1st Class Honours Degree which is equivalent to a 4.0 GPA in Mathematics and Finance from a non-target university. Currently I am trying to break into I.B, preferably ECM or M&A division. I am contemplating doing CFA Level 1 in 2019. Does anyone know if I should take the CFA exam or apply for a Masters in Finance program from a prestigious university help me break into I.B.
Any other advice would be appreciated.
