Does CFA help ?

Im a student and I’m bout to complete my CMA in a couple of months (Cost management accountancy(In india )) or (Certified Management Accountant as they call it in the US)
Also prepping for my CFA lvl-1
The main reason behind me taking up CFA is I really wanted that extra edge over other candidates when it comes to selection.
The question is :
-Will it give me an extra edge over others ??
- what other basic skills i need to master from now on to get in smoothly into banking & nail it ??
Also wanted to know about how do i start networking with people ?
How to know about the open events hosted by the Banks (if something as such exists ) where i an meet people and expand my horizons of knowledge, know more about the industry ?
