Recent MBA graduate looking for a job in Risk Management, does CFA help?

Hi, I recently graduated with my MBA in finance and I am looking to get a job in risk management. I wanted to know if getting a CFA will be beneficial to getting a job? If it will help advance my career and compensation? Is there a benefit to studying long hours and having additional costs to pass the CFA?
