let me answer your second question first
"not all LUMS grads are CEOs and not all BCOMs are clerks"
what i am trying to say is that yes qualification matters to a certain extent, but more importantly, aap mein kitna dam hai. if you are good enough and capable, then you will surely climb your career ladder. experience is very very important and the more experienced you are, the better are your chances of landing a better job.
you can begin with the industry and continue your CFA or MBA simultaneously. i am saying this because if you are planning to do CFA, then surely your area of interest would be financial management and analysis. here, the audit experience will although help, but not as much because, in a firm, you will basically deal with auditing and taxation. however, if you are able to get into the consultancy dept, then it may help.
Hope this answers your question.
