CFA® or other alternative?

Hi,

I am 1 year before graduating in Bachelor of Business Administration with a minor in Economics. In the past year, I did a summer internship in a Austrian Bank and am now doing a 6-month internship at the back office of an Energy-Trading company, also in Austria. I am very interested in getting deeper work experience in the S&T sector and would like to take advantage of pursuing a qualification which will enable me to succeed in that area. Any recommendations whether CFA® or any other path or qualification would be an excellent choice?

Thanks,
Igor
