CFA for Consulting and IB jobs?

Hello, I am a college fresher. I am pursuing Business Economics hons. I am pretty clear that I want to go into Consulting or Investment Banking sector. I am planning for MBA but there is a lot of time for that. I researched and found out that CFA might be beneficial for the jobs I am looking for. They are saying it has no direct implication but it’s good to have. Like I don’t technically require skills gained by CFA for a consultancy and Investing Banking job but people are still saying it is something good to have. I wanted to know more about it and I didn’t post this on r/CFA because I wanted an unbiased opinion.

Can you enlighten me with your insights?
