Do you think CFA level 1 can make my CV better? I'm planning to focus on data science and SE

CFA is hard.

CFA is too much time, imo not the most optimal thing if you're an IT major (I passed lvl 1 btw). doing some IT projects/kaggle and grinding leetcode can benefit you more.

those are all specialized fields
