Continuing Education

Hello everyone. I have a BBA and Masters in finance from a non-target school. I’m currently a second year analyst for a very acquisitive software company. I was able to prove myself and I’m getting put on a lot of deals. I work approximately 60 hours a week and I feel like I need to do more to progress my career further. I thought about taking the CFA and I also thought about studying for the GMAT to get to a top MBA program. I really don’t know what should I do to progress my career further. I appreciate any advice that yall can give me.
