Retake SAT as a college student?

I’ve noticed that SAT/ACT scores are used in many job applications; would it make sense to retake standardized tests as a college student to get a higher score?

How good of a score would make a difference? Are test scores that would be competitive for Ivies competitive for finance roles, or is the barrier higher/lower?
