Education options for 2nd year CF analyst?

$

What options would you recommend for a 2nd year corporate finance analyst seeking additional education but who plans to hit MBA school in 3-5 years? The long horizon for MBA is since I'm looking primarily at overseas programs that accept more experienced candidates (want to work overseas).

My profile:
- 2nd year at F100, solid group (75%+ are from top-15 B-schools or undergrad)
- Previous experience at BB, similar group, also on corporate finance side
- Low u-GPA, non-target
- Don't want to be a research analyst so CFA is not top of the list for me
- Good GMAT practice scores (~700)

What I want to do pre- and post-MBA:
- MM IBD (pre-MBA only if I can network my way in obv.)
- Consulting (given the group I'm in, this is a natural segue)

I want to pursue more education not only as a career boost but also because I genuinely want to learn more. I read plenty of "boring" economics/finance shit in my free time and I've taught myself R, Python, and some other quant applications out of interest.

I've considered:
- MSF
- MS/MA Econ
- CFA
- CAIA (looks really interesting but I can't quite justify the $/time cost)
- MBA (happening regardless)

Thoughts? If you're unemployed or an undergrad I'm gonna monkey shit you immediately. Thanks!
